The Vintage Shetland Project
Yule is knitted in the round from the bottom up commencing with a simple 1x1 ribbed welt after which the colourwork begins. Once the armholes are reached, steeks are added to continue working in the round. The sweater has slightly dropped shoulders for a relaxed fit. The shoulder seams are grafted together and finally a 1x1 ribbed turtle neck is worked.
The pattern includes instructions to knit Yule in a range of sizes to fit from 32-58 inch (81-147cm).
The same sample is shown in the photographs on two models with the male model illustrating the true vintage fit of the garment. To lengthen the sweater for a more contemporary fit, extra pattern repeats should be worked on the body and sleeves as required. When choosing a size I suggest you choose one with approximately 3-9cm (1.25 - 3.5in) of positive ease.
Yule is knitted using Fenella, my 2 ply vintage weight yarn, in six shades, and which perfectly recreates the gauge and finish of the original sweater.
