With no side seams, the garment pieces fit seamlessly together, allowing the slow-changing colors of the yarn to be prominently displayed at the center-back seam, creating a visually stunning effect. The classic V-neck styling, complemented by narrow borders and stylish three-quarter sleeves, makes this pattern both easy to knit and wear, appealing to knitters of all skill levels.
Sizes Available: XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL. The finished chest measurements range from 32 inches to 52 inches, accommodating a variety of body types for a comfortable fit.
**You Will Need:** To create this beautiful piece, you will need sport-weight / 5 ply yarn (12 wpi) with the following yardage: 1050(1270, 1480, 1640, 1820, 1910) meters or 1150(1390, 1620, 1793, 1998, 2097) yards. This ensures that you'll have enough material to complete your project with ease. Additionally, gather 3.25mm and 3.5mm needles (US size 3 and 4), a tapestry needle, stitch holder, a 3.25mm crochet hook (optional), stitch markers, and 9 buttons to finish your look.
Gauge: It's important to achieve the correct gauge of 24 stitches and 36 rows to 10cm (4 inches) over Stockinette Stitch (Stst) using the 3.5mm needles. This will ensure that your final garment fits as intended.
As an added bonus, this delightful pattern also includes comprehensive instructions for creating the matching 'Sunset' cardigan, which features an offset striped version of the design. Perfect for those looking to expand their knitting repertoire, this pattern is a wonderful choice for anyone looking to create versatile and fashionable knitwear.
