Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in mustard yellow, burnt orange, and deep brown
• Needles: US 8 (5mm) circular needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

Back Panel

1. Begin by casting on 90 (100, 110, 120) stitches using your mustard yellow yarn.
2. Work in 1x1 ribbing (K1, P1) for 2 inches. This will create a stretchy and comfortable edge.
3. Switch to the honeycomb stitch pattern:
• Row 1 (Right Side): *K2, P2; repeat from * to end.
• Row 2 (Wrong Side): *P2, K2; repeat from * to end.
4. Continue repeating Rows 1 and 2 until the piece measures 24 (25, 26, 27) inches from the cast-on edge.
5. Once the desired length is reached, bind off all stitches loosely to maintain elasticity.

Front Panel

1. Repeat the same steps as the back panel to create the front panel.

Sleeves

1. For each sleeve, cast on 40 (45, 50, 55) stitches using the mustard yellow yarn.
2. Work in 1x1 ribbing (K1, P1) for 2 inches.
3. Switch to the honeycomb stitch pattern as described earlier.
4. To shape the sleeves, increase 1 stitch at each end of every 6th row until you have 60 (65, 70, 75) stitches.
5. Continue working in the honeycomb stitch until the sleeve measures 18 (19, 20, 21) inches from the cast-on edge.
6. Bind off all stitches loosely.

Assembly

1. With the right sides facing each other, sew the shoulder seams of the front and back panels together.
2. Set in the sleeves by aligning the sleeve caps with the armholes and sewing them in place.
3. Sew the side seams from the bottom of the sweater to the end of the sleeves.

Neckline

1. Pick up stitches evenly along the neckline using circular needles.
2. Work in 1x1 ribbing (K1, P1) for 1 inch to create a finished neckline.
3. Bind off loosely to maintain the stretch of the neckline.

Congratulations! You have now completed your Harvest Honeycomb Sweater. Wear it with pride and enjoy the cozy warmth it brings during the autumn months!
