The Ninon Sweater is worked from the top down in a cable pattern. It begins with the back, which is worked flat with German short rows to shape the neckline, followed by increases for the shoulder shaping. Next, stitches are picked up to work the left and right front separately, with increases to shape the crew neck. Additional stitches are then cast on for the neckline, and the front is worked flat as one piece. Once all parts are complete, stitches are cast on for the underarms, and the knitting is joined to work in the round, ending with a ribbed hem. Stitches are then picked up to work the neckline in 2x2 rib, which is folded and attached. Finally, stitches are picked up along the armholes to work the sleeves in the round.

Sizes:

XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL
The Ninon Sweater has an oversized fit and is designed to have approx. 10–25 cm [4–9¾ in] of positive ease, with the larger sizes featuring less ease to ensure a more balanced and comfortable fit. This means the garment’s measurements will be between 10–25 cm [4–9¾ in] larger than your actual bust circumference, depending on the size.

The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm [31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37½ (37½-39½) 39½-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ (51¼-55) 55-59 in].

Before you begin, measure yourself to determine the right size. For example, if your bust circumference is 92 cm [36¼ in], you should knit a size M. If you are between sizes, choose the size based on how loose you prefer the garment to fit. Using the diagram with the finished garment measurements can be a helpful reference when deciding which size to select.

Suggested yarn:

Filcolana (worked with single strand throughout the process):
600 (650) 700 (750) 800 (850) 900 (950) 1000 g Peruvian by Filcolana 50 g = 100 m [109 yds].

Önling (worked with two strands throughout the process):
500 (500) 550 (600) 650 (650) 700 (750) 750 g No. 3 by Önling 50 g = 133 m [145 yds] & 150 (175) 175 (175) 200 (200) 225 (225) 250 g No. 10 by Önling 25 g = 210 m [230 yds].

Yarn alternatives:

This design is worked holding wool together with silk mohair or a single strand of 100% wool.

When choosing an alternative, look for 100% wool or wool blend yarns that keep their shape well — ideally a 6-ply worsted weight with approx. 120–130 m [131–142 yds] per 50 g, combined with one strand of silk mohair (approx. 210–250 m [230–273 yds] per 25 g).

Alternatively, you can use a single strand of 100% wool with approx. 90–100 m [98–109 yds] per 50 g to achieve a similar gauge and fabric structure.

Suggested needles:

Circular needles:
3 mm [US 2½] 40 cm [16 in].
3.5 mm [US 4] 40 cm [16 in].

Double-pointed needles or long circular needles for the Magic Loop technique:
3.5 mm [US 4].

Gauge:

After washing and blocking:
26 sts x 36 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 in] in slip stitch pattern on 3.5 mm [US 4] needles.
26 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 in] in 1x1 rib on 3 mm [US 2½] needles.

Please make sure to knit a swatch. Ensure that your swatch gauge matches the given one. If you cannot achieve the required gauge using the suggested needles, adjust your needle size to reach the correct gauge.
