My grand daughter was singing “A million stars” and I imagined a sweater with lots of little stars all over it. Making the stars different colors was a good way to use up some stash.

This pullover is very easy to make. I designed it to be like a large and roomy sweatshirt-just rectangles sewn together.

Sizes:
Small Medium Large Extra large
Bust size: inches (cm) 34 (86) 40 (102) 45 (114) 50 (127)
Final size: inches (cm) 44 (112) 50 (127) 56 (142) 60 (152)
Body length: inches (cm) 23 (58) 24 (61) 25 (63.5) 26 (66)
Sleeve length: inches (cm)17 (43) 17 (43) 18 (46) 18 (46)
Yarn yardage:
Main color: yards (meters) 1260 (1200) 1450 (1300) 1720 (1600) 1900 (1800)
Contrast color for stars: yards (m) 58 (55) 65 (60) 80 (75) 90 (800)

Yarn: I used Briggs & Little Sport, a 1 ply pure wool yarn 4oz/113g/430yds/393m ball 3 (4, 4, 5) skeins for the main color. PLUS additional skeins of contrasting colors for the stars-see above for yardage.

Needles: size US6 (4mm) circular and straight needles. You need circular needles for the collar, so I used them for the whole sweater.

Skill level: fairly easy if you know how to change colors in your knitting. Each star has its own strand of color, while the main color is carried across.
