Pattern only. After checkout you’ll receive a digital PDF by email.
Full size chart and garment measurements below.

The body of this sweater is worked in two pieces: the front panel and back panel. Each panel is knit flat from the bottom-up. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up from the body and worked in the round from the shoulder to the cuff.

Both body panels and sleeves feature stranded colorwork throughout.

Sizes: XS-3X

Materials:

• Dream Yarn | worsted weight 109 yds 100 m | 50 g each, Solid Colors: 100% Merino Wool | Tweed: 82% Merino, 13% Wool, 5% Viscose
• US 10 (6 mm) 32" (80 cm) circular needles

Note: The entire garment can be made with 32” needles. Using 32” needles, you will have to use Magic Loop for the sleeves, cuffs, and neckline. To avoid Magic Loop on the sleeves and neckline, use a 16” circular needle. To avoid Magic Loop on the cuffs, use a set of DPNs.

Gauge:

Stockinette Stitch on size US 10 (6 mm) needles: 19 sts & 22 rows/4" (10 cm)

Stranded Stockinette Stitch on size US 10 (6 mm) needles: 19 sts & 22 rows/4" (10 cm)

Note: Please be sure to swatch both stitch patterns; some knitters find they need to use a different needle size when working stranded stockinette stitch.
