Universal Yarn

Corbin

Designed by Rachel Brockman

Showstopper sweaters are made with a combination of beautiful yarns and stitch patterns that make everyone want to take a closer look. A matching accessory completes the look and gives you virtually endless possibilities for wearing. Corbin features a traveling cable pattern that is intricate and modern, perfect for adding a sleek appearance to a relaxed and leisurely outfit. Posh Alpaca is a luxurious roving-style yarn with a mixed fiber base. Spun in Italy, it looks and feels just as good as its name suggests. Although Corbin does require close attention while working, Posh Alpaca works up rather quickly, and your efforts will be rewarded every time you wear this stunning set.

PATTERN NOTES
This sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. It begins with the Back shoulders and is worked flat to the underarms, then the Back stitches are placed on hold. Stitches for the Left and Right Front are picked up from the Back shoulder stitches and worked flat to the underarms. Short rows are used to shape the shoulders. At the underarms, the Back and Fronts are joined together, and the remainder of the sweater is knit in the round. The armholes are picked up and worked in the round. Stitches for the Neckband are picked up during Finishing and worked in the round.

Important Note: This pattern is primarily charted. Although stitch counts and instructions are provided for construction after the Front and Back Body are joined in the round, separate charts are provided for each the Front and Back, and these charts are separate for each size. Please be sure to work the correct charts for your chosen size. The Sleeves are also fully charted. If you are new to knitting from charts, you can find useful tips and tricks at this blog post (link).

This cowl is worked seamlessly in the round. It begins with a provisional cast-on. The cowl is worked double length, and then the provisional cast-on is unraveled and the two ends of the pattern are joined together using a three-needle bind-off for a double-thick, seamless cowl.

Corbin is available as part of e-book Cozy Utility, and as an individual pattern through Ravelry.
