I am delighted to present test knitter Caryn Tierney and her gorgeous Arine, knitted in the original yarn mYak Baby Yak Medium in Shine in size 5. The sweater is graded into sizes 1 to 9 with a bust circumference of 93 to 164 cm/36.5 to 64.5 inches.

Caryn, aka Caryn57 on Ravelry, knitted Arine using the recommended needle size of 4.5 mm/US 7 with a gauge of 19 stitches and 28 rows in stockinette stitch measuring 10 cm/4 inches square after blocking.

On her project page you can read: “Such a gorgeous and balanced stitch pattern and perfect fit. The yarn is a dream to work with and soft as a cloud on my skin! Thank you, Linda!” I am so happy to hear it and love these photos! Thank you, Caryn!

Here is my introduction to the pattern: Arine – Japanese for one who is full of joy – is this pullover adorned with cables, framed by double seed stitch in each side. The pullover is crowned by a twisted rib neckband that ends in a tubular bind off and has set-in sleeves. Arine is worked in pieces for the ultimate fit, in the gorgeous Baby Yak Medium by mYak.

The pattern is available in English, German, Danish and Norwegian on Ravelry, but not in Danish on LoveCrafts.
