The Whirlpool Sweater is a beautiful knit for fans of top-down knitting patterns. With its elegant wide neck and trumpet sleeves, you knit this pattern in simple stocking stitch, in-the-round, so there’s less sewing up. The increases at the yoke create a mock raglan seam with texture inspired by corals.

Tension

14 stitches and 19 rows for a 10x10cm tension square using 6.5mm needles (Stocking Stitch)

When substituting yarn, compare the tension gauge of the pattern and the yarn. Working a tension square to determine the suitability of the yarn as a substitute is recommended - to compare the tension for sizing but also to test whether it creates the fabric you are after.

To determine the quantity of substitute yarn needed, compare the total meterage needed in the pattern to the meterage on the substitute.
