Notes

Printable instructions for working in the round! (this pattern uses the original collar)

And an improved annotated and color coded cable chart! Created by awaphoohee.

I’m basically following the pattern except…

  • Knitting in the round.
  • Shortened the front and back by about 2 inches.
  • Making a shawl collar instead of the original one (will look something like this). Basically picking up stitches along the edges of the neck and knitting them in rib.

Update 9/23/2013:
Thanks for all the love on this pattern. Just received a helpful improved cable chart with more color coding and annotation from Ming (awaphoohee) so I’m posting that here as well.

Update 3/25/2013:
Realized a big mistake in the pattern, I didn’t have notes on casting on for sizes other than S. There were also references to WS and RS which there shouldn’t be since it’s in the round! It should be clearer now, hope that didn’t mess anyone up!

Update 2/2013:
I just updated the circular pattern, there was an omission in the total number of stitches there should be in the set-up row for the body cables.

Update 1/2013:
I sewed in elastic to the bottom hem and the sleeves. Now the sleeves don’t bunch up as much and the waist part is more flattering.

Update 11/2012:
I want to add elastic to the sleeves and bottom hem. The twisted rib isn’t that stretchy, wish I’d knit it on smaller needles.

Update 10/2012:
It fits so well!!!!! I’m so happy!

Update 8/2011:
Aw crap, I didn’t finish this before I left for Brazil so now I won’t get a chance to work on it until next summer!
