CALAMUS

Knit from the bottom up in one piece, Calamus has a modern, relaxed fit with sophisticated structure. The gorgeous tweedy effect comes from Quince & Co.’s cotton and wool blend DK weight yarn, Wren. With a multitude of delicate details, including a V-neck, gentle ribbing, and three-quarter sleeves, Calamus is the perfect go-with-everything sweater for spring candlelight evenings.

NOTES
Pullover is knit in the round from the bottom up in one piece, then divided at the underarm to form the front and back. The body is worked WS-out to minimize purling. Front and back are joined at the shoulders using a three-needle bind off. Sleeves are picked up around the armhole, sleeve caps are shaped with short rows, and sleeves are worked in the round to the cuffs. Ribbed neckband is worked from picked up stitches.
