Allover-pattern Sweater
The pattern as written has “deep-shaped armholes, turn-back cuffs, and a neat collar.”
Skills needed : large and small diameter knitting in 2 colours, join in a new colour, corrugated ribbing, increase, steeking, kitchener stitch, pick up stitches, decrease in pattern.
Additional yarn information : pattern uses 16 colours. Picture shown is in the colourway for the vest.
Additional size information :
to fit bust 32-33inches, knitted measurement of 38½ inches
to fit bust 38-40inches, knitted measurement of 44inches
Tip :
Those who do the medium size which has an odd number of repeats should be aware that the designer does not centre the pattern after the ribbing, but at the underarm.
