This sweater plays with the meaning behind the name of the town, Bauline, and the acronym, BAU. The fishing town of Bauline has a rock offshore and it really does look like a breaching whale, lending credence to the belief that the name Bauline is derived from the French word for whale (baleine). Then the construction of Bauline is Business As Asual (BAU) in a circular yoke featuring stacked lines. And in those lines are the surfacing whales in white-capped wave crests.
Bauline is a top down circular yoke worked in the round throughout and meant to be worn with positive ease for the cozy feel.

Sunday Knits Eden 3ply (100% finest merino; 225 meters / 245 yards per 50 grams), and Sunday Knits Brigadoon 3ply (100% finest merino donegal tweed; 225 meters / 245 yards per 50 grams). The main color (MC) and contrast color (CC) are listed below, with approximate meterage and yardage. If using the same sample yarn, the number of skeins of each color is also given in brackets.
MC Eden 3ply Lagoon (teal green; (4,4,4)(5,5,6)(6,7,7,8) skeins):
(750,835,900)(1015,1075,1180)(1280,1390,1525,1635) meters
(820,915,985)(1110,1175,1290)(1400,1520,1670,1790) yards
CC Brigadoon 3ply Seafoam (light marled teal; (1,1,1)(1,1,1)(2,2,2,2) skein(s)):
(140,155,170)(185,200,225)(245,270,295,315) meters
(155,170,185)(205,220,245)(270,295,325,345) yards
Gauge
To find your needle size, you need to swatch the single-color stockinette. If you don’t know whether your stitch gauge changes between single-color stockinette and stranded colorwork, then you should swatch for both.
Single-color Stockinette: 24 sts / 33 rnds to 10cm / 4” using size B needles
Stranded Colorwork: 24 sts / 27 rnds to 10cm / 4” using size C needles
Needles & Notions
The gauges were achieved with the following needle size. To work the pattern as written, you must swatch and use a needle size that will result in the correct gauge after blocking. Note that the pattern is written assuming that the knitter needs to use a smaller needle for single-color stockinette. If your gauge does not change between single-color stockinette and stranded knitting, then you don’t need to change needle sizes.
Size A: 3mm (US 2.5) circular needles of varying lengths for the neckline ribbing
Size B: 3.5mm (US 4) circular needles of varying lengths for the single-color stockinette, and cuff and hem ribbing
Size C: 4mm (US 6) circular needles of varying lengths for the stranded colorwork
You will also need: spare interchangeable cables, spare needles or scrap yarn for holding stitches; stitch markers.
