Tomorrow
She hung her hopes on tomorrow the way she hung her jacket on the wooden peg in the hallway: haphazardly, and in passing. Tomorrow, she’d call that company. Tomorrow, that pile of laundry would be tackled. Tomorrow, she’d set it all aside and just weave, or read. They were sentiments in passing, caught in the crack between the driver’s seat and the center console with the forgotten mail. Each night as golden hour ascended, however, the evening wind would blow them loose. They’d appear quietly like the first gentle twinkles of starlight. Resting in the late of day, those hopes would become more tangible. Those hopes were an impossibly beautiful sweater, the kind she would maybe start knitting tomorrow. Her tomorrow sweater.
Intended to be worn with 0-4” inches / 0-10 cm positive ease at hem. Modeled with 0”/cm of ease at hem
This sweater is worked from the bottom up, then split and worked flat for sleeve openings. It is then rejoined in the round for shoulder shaping up to neck, where short rows are worked, then bound off. Neckline is then picked up and knit seamlessly in the round. All sts should be slipped purlwise to maintain orientation on the needle.
Please note this pattern has 2 separate gauges:
-22 sts & 32 rounds = 4”/10 cm in stockinette on larger needles
-32 sts & 32 rounds = 4”/10cm in honeycomb cable pattern on larger needles
There are two different gauges, it is strongly recommended that you swatch both AND block your swatch. While this gauge is closer to worsted, I suggest a sport weight yarn with some loft, halo, and bloom due to the the yardage consumption.

This piece requires you to be able to cable on the WS as well as read your stitches and work shortrows. One good piece of advice from a wise tester regarding working the neckline shortrows: when in doubt, turn your work to the RS, cross your stitches (without knitting), then turn back to the WS and purl in the new order. This way you can frequently check your work from the front and see that your cables are leaning correctly.
