September Pullover

September is an exciting month for knitters. The weather becomes cooler, and you begin to want to wear all your woolen knits again. It feels cozy to sit and knit under your WIP.

These saddle shoulders are carefully calculated and shaped to curve right along with your body (great care was taken in working out the shoulder sizes - these shoulders should smoothly outline your own even in the very largest size! No floppy shoulders here). If you have a curvy shape, rejoice! This pattern has easy to adjust waist shaping, and lots of options for bust shaping - from A to DDD, pull out your tape measure to check how much shaping you need, and the math is all done for you in the pattern. If you have a stick straight figure, not to worry. The waist shaping is simple to reduce or ignore, and the bust shaping can be skipped with no bad consequences later. For the curious, the sweater shown is shortened slightly for the petite model, and the sweater used “D” shaping for the D model. (There are instructions for two cup sizes up from what is shown)

You will need approx. 1,150 (1,300, 1,450, 1,600, 1,750, 1,900) yards of your main color, and under 100 of your contrast color if you choose to have elbow patches.
