South Carroll Sour

$8.00

South Carroll Sour is a simple pullover, featuring the square, shortish length sleeves I've been seeing in some of the Fall 2025 collections. I'm loving this paired with a long sleeve blouse, but I also like it worn by itself, as a modern knitted tee.

On the body, I took one of my favorite allover lace repeats and divided the pattern into narrow bands and I love how it worked.

The combination of silhouette and pattern together is somewhat simple, yet sophisticated - and it's a super easy knit!

Once again, I'm using Nest Worsted from Magpie Fibers. This stunning worsted is a perfect go-everywhere weight, comes in gorgeous colors, has great stitch definition, and wears like a charm. You need some.

South Carroll Sour is worked from the bottom up in the round, then separated into front and back pieces at armholes. At armhole, I've extended the lace pattern outwards onto the shoulder just a bit. Once the upper body is seamed at shoulder and under arm, sleeve and collar stitches are picked up and worked in the round.

The pattern includes both the shorter sleeve version shown and a long sleeve option.

Notes are included on how to modify fit in a number of ways, and stockinette panels at sides and shoulders make for easy tweaks. Lace instructions are both charted and written.

Yarn: Magpie Fibers Nest Worsted (100% Corriedale wool; 210 yds/192m per 3.53oz/100g skein). Sample shown in Linger.

If substituting yarn, I suggest a round worsted weight wool or wool blend in a solid, subtle semi-solid, or heathered color. Block your swatch to check gauge and to be sure the detail shows up in your yarn. Yardage estimates above contain about 10% buffer, based on test knit feedback. If modifying or substituting yarn, note that yardage may vary.

Gauge: 20 sts and 28 rounds/rows per 4”/10cm in both lace stripe pattern and in stockinette on larger needle. 22 sts and 28 rounds per 4”/10cm in rib patterns on smaller needle.

Needles: US#7/4.5mm needles for body and sleeves, including cuffs. US #6/4mm for collar and hem, or size(s) needed for gauge. I suggest long circular needles for body, and shorter circular needles for working collar, sleeves, and cuffs around smaller circumferences.

Sizes:

35.25(40,44.75,49.5,54.5)(59.25,64,68.75)” 

89.5(101.5,113.5,125.75,138.5)(150.5,162.5,174.5)cm 

Shown worn with 4”/10cm of positive ease. I do not recommend additional ease, in order to maintain fit in shoulders and upper sleeve.
