This beautifully designed sweater features an intricate all-over stitch pattern that adds texture and style to your knitwear collection. The yoke of this sweater is thoughtfully crafted with fully charted instructions available for every size in the second PDF. For those who prefer not to use charts, we’ve got you covered! The pattern also includes user-friendly instructions for employing markers, which simplify the process of increasing in pattern. These markers are referred to as “inner markers” and are thoroughly explained throughout the yoke and sleeves. We've included detailed illustrations to ensure clarity and aid in your crafting experience.
SIZING: To achieve the best fit, I recommend selecting a finished bust measurement that is approximately 2 to 6 inches (5 to 15 cm) larger than your actual bust measurement. For reference, the sample shown is a size 2 with 4 inches (10 cm) of positive ease. Don’t forget to check the accompanying photo for a detailed schematic of all sizing options.
NEEDLES: For achieving the perfect gauge, you will need US 8 (5 mm) circular needles in lengths of 16 inches (40 cm) and 24 inches (60 cm), along with your preferred sleeve needles (12 inches (30 cm), DPNs, or magic loop method). Alternatively, use a size that ensures you match the gauge accurately for the best results.
For the ribbing, grab a set of circular needles that are 2 sizes smaller than the ones you’re using to meet gauge, also in similar cable lengths. In this case, we recommend using US 6 (4 mm) needles for the ribbing sections. With clear instructions and adaptable techniques, this pattern is perfect for knitters looking to enhance their skills while creating a garment that combines comfort and style.
Whether you're new to knitting or an experienced crafter, this pattern is designed to provide you with all the necessary tools to create a stunning sweater that not only fits well but looks fabulous too. Get ready to impress with your knitting prowess!
