The fitted sister to the Fouetté Cardigan. Same gorgeous cables and construction, but with a set-in sleeve. A simple lace panel at the center front and back adds a bit more whimsy and texture, in addition to a few more precious details. Knit mostly in the round, it’s a very fun and engaging knit, and results in a stunning pullover sure to gain many compliments.
Construction: This saddle shoulder pullover is worked from the top down seamlessly. Once the saddles are worked stitches are picked up for the back, after which stitches are picked up to work the fronts. Both the back and fronts have short row shoulder shaping. All pieces are then joined in the round for the body. Stitches are picked up around the armhole, including the held saddle stitches. A short row sleeve cap is worked, and then the sleeve is worked in the round to the cuff.
The cables and lace are charted, written instructions for the charts are included.
Difficulty: Intermediate to Advanced
The pattern is very thorough, and the rows on the charts where different charts cable are highlighted, but some test knitters preferred to use notes to help keep track.
As with all my size inclusive garment patterns, you can use the code ANTIFATTAX to get 20% off the pattern, intended for sizes 6-10 to help combat the extra costs incurred by knitting larger sizes.
This pattern has been professionally tech edited by Sarah Walworth, and test knitted.

Yardage
Rico Design Creative Fluffily DK 3, 3, 3, (3, 4, 4) {5, 5, 5, 5} skeins (459 yards / 420 meters per 150 g), 40% Cotton, 30% Polyester, 20% Acrylic, 10% Wool, in the color ‘13 Aqua’.
OR 1069, 1163, 1242, (1358, 1460, 1572) {1883, 2012, 2134, 2270} yards / 978, 1064, 1137, (1243, 1336, 1438) {1723, 1841, 1953, 2078} meters of comparable DK weight yarn.
This yarn has a blown chainette construction. It is lightweight and fluffy. A fingering weight + fluffy lace weight yarn can also be substituted for a similar effect and drape.
Substituting with heavy DK / light worsted will result in a pullover with more body, and less drape. My cream sample is knit in Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt (100% Norwegian Wool).
Each additional full diamond repeat on the body will require an additional 109, 121, 133, (146, 158, 170) {184, 195, 207, 221} yards / 100, 111, 121, (134, 145, 155) {168, 179, 189, 202} meters.
