Day By Day Pullover
Introducing the Day By Day Pullover—a cozy, oversized sweater. Created with the enchanting hues from the Asylum Fibers Frozen Whispers 2024 Yarn Countdown Calendar, this pullover is the perfect companion for day by day stitching. The large needles and relaxed fit make it ideal for unwinding during the busiest time of year. A color-tracking chart is included to guide you through the fade, helping you keep track. And for those without an advent set, a solid option is available. Knit your way through the season and enjoy a finished sweater just in time for the new year! Color photos here are the sweater knit in DK weight yarn in a main and contrasting colors… also available at Asylum Fibers.
MATERIALS
Yarn:
Asylum Fibers Smooth Sock 75% SW Merino, 25% Nylon, 4 ply
92 yds 84 m per 20 g mini skein
463 yds 423 m per 100 g skein
Colors used: Frozen Whispers 2024 Fade (24 mini skeins and 1 full skein)
Note: Sweater is worked top down holding 2 colors together as one. The collar, cuffs and bottom ribbing are knit with the full skein that comes with your countdown calendar. The reason you will begin with a provisional cast-on is that your full skein is the last yarn to open (Day 25). If you did not purchase an additional skein, use a contrasting color of your choice. I would suggest you wait until the end to pick a color that will compliment all of the colors.
Needles (suggested size):
US 5 3.75 mm in 16” 40 cm length for collar.
US 7 4.5 mm in 16” 40 cm and 24” 60 cm lengths. The 24” length will be used for the main body and and the 16” length will be used for the sleeves.
Gauge:
17 sts and 24 rows over 4” 10 cm after blocking. Please take time to block your swatch to ensure you have enough yarn for your project.
Notions:
Stitch markers, darning needle, stitch holder or scrap yarn for holding stitches and provisional cast-on
