Designed for transitional weather, Culswick is a relaxed and oversized piece that is uncomplicated in shape yet polished and well-crafted in fit and detail. Its allover lace patterning brings to mind intricate latticework, with a subtle transparency that invites soft layering and breezy wearing. Worked in fine-gauge Peerie, Culswick is light as a cloud and drapes like a dream, while remaining substantial enough to weather gracefully with time.
Construction
The body is worked circularly from the bottom up to the underarms, then divided to work the back and front separately. The sleeves are worked circularly to the armholes and the neckband is picked up and worked after garment assembly. The allover lace motif is worked from charts only.

Needles
Size A (for Main Fabric)
- One 32” circular needle and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs)* in size needed to obtain gauge listed

- One each 24” and 32” circular needles and one set of DPNs*, five sizes smaller than size A

Size C (optional; for Tubular Cast On only)
- One 32” circular needle and one set of DPNs*, one size smaller than Size B

*32” circular needle can be used instead of DPNs if using the Magic Loop method for working small circumferences in the round (e.g. Sleeves).
Note: If you have adjusted the needle size to obtain the correct gauge, it may or may not be necessary to make a matching adjustment to the needle size used for Tubular Cast On due to variance in individual work. You may wish to test your chosen cast-on method on your swatch.
