This one is great for any man or women and perfect for colder climates (or California once we hit 50 degrees :-) . Is sized to fit finished chest 37 (42, 46, 52) and length 25 (26, 27, 27)“. Uses about 1100 (1300, 1600, 1750) yards of yarn in the correct gauge of 17 stitches to 4” in stockinet on US #8 or 9 needle (or needle to obtain the gauge). Please remember you may knit tighter or looser than Jennifer so please either adjust your needle size or use a smaller or bigger size on the pattern to get the inches you want. We give plenty of pattern support through our retail store Jennifer Knits in Los Angeles. This one uses Filatura’s Zara 8 but you can use any merino, cashmere, bamboo or blend. When starting a sweater project ALWAYS fall in love with the yarn first because at Jennifer Knits we’ll help adjust the pattern to work with your favorite Jennifer Knits yarn.
