The ladies of Kelbourne Woolens have partnered with designer Jacqueline Cieslak for a spring KAL for her Rift sweater, which was featured in our Spring lookbook! You can cast on virtually with them on Friday, May 22 via IG live!
Rift is designed for a finished bust measurement of 40 (44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72) inches. To choose your size, measure the circumference around the fullest part of your bust, then add 6-12” (depending on how much ease you want) and choose the closest size. Please see schematic for more detailed finished measurements.

• S / 4 skeins per color / 44, 48, 52″
• M / 5 skeins per color / 56, 60, 64″
• L / 6 skeins per color / 68, 72″
Gauge: 16 sts and 20 rows over 4” in blocked stockinette stitch with two strands held together
Recommended needles: one US 8 (5 mm) 32” (sizes 34-46) or 40” (sizes 50-66) circular; DPNs for sleeves if not using magic loop
Notions: stitch markers, darning needle, extra needle in similar size or smaller than project needle for 3-needle bind-off
