What you’ll make: A textured crew-neck sweater with a centred Diamond Bobble panel on the front, framed and balanced by double seed stitch on the body and sleeves, with set-in sleeves and a folded rib neckband that sits flat and neat at the neckline.

Sizing / Measurements: Written to fit bust 86, 91, 97, 102 cm (34, 36, 38, 40 in) with relaxed ease; approximate finished chest 111, 115, 120, 124 cm and length from shoulder 67, 68, 69, 70 cm; sleeve length from cuff to underarm 46, 47, 48, 49 cm (final dimensions depend on blocking and yarn choice).

Yarn: Aran / Heavy Worsted (10-ply) 100% wool; approximate total 900–1000 g depending on size (18–20 × 50 g balls, or equivalent yardage of roughly 1,700–2,000 m in total).

Tension (gauge): 18 stitches and 26 rows = 10 cm in double seed stitch on 5.0 mm (US 8) needles, measured after light blocking; work a swatch and adjust needle size until your gauge matches.

Recommended yarn: West Yorkshire Spinners The Croft Shetland Aran — Yarn quantities (100 g balls): 9 (9) (9.5) (10).
Also suitable (currently available): Cascade 220 (Worsted), Patons Classic Wool Worsted, DROPS Alaska, Quince & Co. Lark, Briggs & Little Heritage, Bendigo Woollen Mills Classic 10 ply, Rowan Pure Wool Worsted.

Needles & notions: 4.0 mm (US 6) needles for rib, 5.0 mm (US 8) needles for the main fabric, cable needle for bobble and twist manoeuvres if preferred, stitch holders or waste yarn, tapestry needle for seaming, and optional markers to frame the central bobble panel.

Construction notes: The sweater is worked flat in four pieces (back, front, two sleeves), starting with rib hem and cuffs, then continuing in double seed stitch with the Diamond Bobble panel centred on the front. Shoulders are shaped and seamed, a folded rib neckband is picked up around the neckline, then folded to the inside and sewn down. Sleeves are set in at the armholes and seamed for a structured, stable fit that supports the bobble texture.

Skill level: Intermediate; intended for knitters comfortable with bobble techniques, twisted stitch pairs, maintaining texture while shaping, and finishing a seamed, set-in sleeve garment.
