This is definitely a wear every day pullover. It is warm and cozy and of course pretty! The seed stitch filled horse shoe cables and seed stitch rib add a blank rustic look. There is also seed stitch mixed in with reverse stockinette stitches making the design a study of different ways to use seed stitch. I picked the name Flannery because it means ruddy and valor. Ruddy fits the rust color and the set up needs a little valor. The set up of this pullover can be challenging, but there are lots of notes to help and once it is set up the knitting becomes intuitive.So take courage, plunge in and enjoy the knitting! Your prize will be a lovely comfortable sweater that you will not want to take off.

Some comments from the test knitter’s:
Once you have the patterns going, it’s really easy to add the sleeve/neck increases and work them in pattern. The most challenging part was getting everything set up properly, but the results are well worth the work.
I had to concentrate and pay attention during the set-up, but now it’s all there and I’m enjoying a relaxing knit.
This is my first Woodhouse Knits pattern, and I’m enjoying it immensely.
Once the patterns are established that it gets much easier.
I soooo agree about how relaxing it is in the round. The set up requires concentration, but the sweater is soooo worth it. I love watching mine grow.
I love the design!!! It´s brilliant.
I have finished the body and started the sleeves tried it on and LOVE IT!
It is such a happy knitting!!!
It’s going to become a favorite sweater.
I am certain I will get a lot of use from this sweater.
I really love the looks of this design!
I tried it on yesterday, and I love it!! The ribbing makes it fit like there is body shaping without the sweater being too tight.
The pullover has a wonderful fit.
I tried it on for fit, and it is perfect!

Sizes:
Finished bust: 30.5 (33.75, 37.25, 40.5, 43.75, 47, 50.25, 52.5, 55.75, 59, 62.25)“. Size 33.75” modeled with no ease.
Materials:
Yarn: Shibui Staccato, 65% superwash merino, 30% silk, 5% nylon; 191 yds per 50g skein; color: #181 Rust, 7 (8, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 12, 13, 14, 15) skeins, 1319 (1447, 1528, 1690, 1839, 1962, 2148, 2263, 2441, 2620, 2732) yds.
Shibui Pebble, 48% silk, 36% merino, 16% cashmere; 330 yds per 25g skein; color #14 Chestnut, 4 (5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9) skeins, 1319 (1447, 1528, 1690, 1839, 1962, 2148, 2263, 2441, 2620, 2732) yds.
Needles: Size 5/3.75mm 24” circular needle and set of 4 or 5 double-pointed needles.
Other: Stitch markers (different colors), stitch holders, spare circular needle or waste yarn, cable needle, tapestry needle.
Gauge: 20 sts and 28 rows = 4” in Stockinette Stitch with 1 strand of each yarn held together. 11-st Saddle Cable Panel = 1.75” wide and the 17-st Twisted Cable = 2.5” wide when blocked. 22 sts = 4” in Rib Stitch, blocked.

Notes: This pullover is constructed from the top down in one piece with saddle shoulders and set-in sleeves. The shoulders are shaped by short rows. There is no body shaping past the armholes; the cabled panel adds some natural shaping. The length of the body and sleeves is easily adjusted. Once the set up is complete this is a pretty straight forward project.

Hold 1 strand of each yarn together throughout pattern.

There are a lot of markers used in this pattern to make the instructions more clear; you certainly do not have to use them all. I would suggest using different colors for the different cable panels.
Please read all notes within pattern.

A single held dk weight yarn can be used in place of two fingering weight yarns held together.
