Pale Shelter is a top-down circular yoke sweater with lovely design details: A reinforced neckline achieved by holding the yarn double, a line of eyelets tracing the sides of the body, a twisted stitch seam running down the back. The pattern comes with optional A-line shaping and two sleeve versions: regular sleeves (as pictured), and Bishop sleeves.

Hands-down one of the best plant yarns on the market! Antigone is a sport-weight 100% linen yarn with a smooth and silky finish, perfect for summer tops, shirts and cardigans for layering. Linen likes to be washed (preferrably in the washing machine!) and worn and so your FOs will just get softer and softer over time.

SIZES
1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
Finished bust circumference: 92 (103, 111.5, 118, 124.5, 127, 136, 139) cm / 36.25 (40.5, 44, 46.5, 49.25, 50, 53.5, 54.75)” - recommended to be worn with 5-17 cm / 2-7” of positive ease at the bust.
YARN
De Rerum Natura Antigone (pure organic linen; 260 metres / 284 yards per 100 g)
1230 (1330, 1430, 1530, 1630, 1730, 1830, 1930) metres / 1345, 1455, 1565, 1675, 1785, 1895, 2005) yards
CC yarn for optional contrast stripe: 30 metres / 32 yards
Sample shown is knit in colourway Heron. Claudia wears a size 3 with regular sleeves and 26.5 cm / 10.5” of positive ease.
NEEDLES
5 mm / US 8 circular needle with a cable length of at least 80 cm / 32” (or needle size to obtain gauge)
5 mm / US 8 double-pointed needles (or needle size to obtain gauge)
4 mm / US 6 circular needle with a cable length of at least 80 cm / 32” (or needle one or two sizes smaller than main needle)
4 mm / US 6 double-pointed needles (or needle one or two sizes smaller than main needle)
A circular needle with a short cable can be used instead of double-pointed needles, however magic loop is not recommended for linen as it would pull the stitches excessively.
GAUGE
20 sts x 25 rows = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4” (in the round, in stockinette stitch, on larger needle, after blocking)
Note that linen stretches by 10-20% after blocking so you’ll need to measure your swatch before and after blocking. As a reference, the swatch for the sample had 22 sts x 28 rows in 10 x 10 cm before blocking.
