Sizes Available: S, M, L, XL, and 2XL. The bust circumference of the finished sweater measures 37”, 41”, 45”, 49”, and 53” (95, 105, 115, 125, and 135 cm). The total length of the finished sweater is 22", 23", 23.5", 24", and 25" (56, 58, 60, 62, and 63 cm). It's important to note that the length is easily adaptable to fit your personal style and preference.
Materials Needed: Depending on your chosen size, you will need between 870 to 2500 yards of Aran weight yarn in four different colors. For example, I used Schoppel “In Silk” in a lovely combination of light grey, navy, petrol, and wine red, with a yardage of 219 yds/100g. To determine the amount of yarn required for each color, simply divide the total yardage by four. You will also need US size 7 and 8 (4.5 mm and 5.0 mm) circular needles, or any needles that help you achieve the desired gauge, in various lengths. Additionally, gather 2 stitch markers and 2 stitch holders to assist with your project.
Gauge Information: The recommended gauge for the "Josie" Sweater is 16 stitches and 28 rows in stockinette stitch, which equals 4 inches. Be sure to check your gauge before starting to ensure a perfect fit for your new cozy sweater!
