**Knitting Pattern: Crossover Stitch Sweater** Unleash your creativity with this stunning Crossover Stitch Sweater, an elegantly designed project that combines the timeless appeal of stockinette stitch with striking crossover rows. This pattern is perfect for knitters looking to challenge themselves while creating a beautifully cozy garment. **Gauge Information** To ensure your sweater fits perfectly, we recommend achieving a gauge of 15 stitches by 17 rows over a 3”/7.5cm square in Crossover Stitch using US size 6/4mm needles, or adjust your needle size as necessary to meet the gauge. Keep in mind, in between crossover rows, the stockinette stitch gauge is approximately 5 stitches and 6 rows per inch. Once blocked, you’ll find each crossover row measures just under 1 inch. If your crossover rows seem too long, consider reducing the wraps to three on row 10 for a more tailored fit. **Finished Measurements** The finished chest circumference spans a versatile range of sizes: 29 (32, 35, 38.5, 41.5)” or 73.5 (81, 89, 98, 105.5)cm, accommodating various body shapes and preferences. **Recommended Yarn** This sweater is crafted using **Artyarns Ensemble Light**, a luxurious blend of 50% silk and 50% cashmere. Each skein weighs 2.82oz/80g and offers an impressive 400yd/366m. You will need between 2 to 3 skeins of color #1006, depending on the size you choose to knit. **Necessary Tools & Supplies** To bring this pattern to life, you will need: - One size US 6/4mm, 32”/81cm circular knitting needle, or an alternative size to achieve the specified gauge. - Four stitch markers to keep track of your rows. - Two stitch holders or some scrap yarn for those resting stitches. - A tapestry or darning needle for finishing touches.
