Suitable for any standard gauge knitting machine.

This garment is an introduction to knitting Fairisle round neck pullovers. It is designed very simply, but does have short row shaping on the front to lower the neck a little, making it more comfortable to wear and to eliminate the bulge that often occurs at the bottom of the yoke.

Any lightweight yarn, such as sock, fingering, or 4-ply, that will knit to correct gauge may be used. Sample is knitted in two colors, and requires approximately 14-18 oz (400-500 grams) main color and 3 oz (85 grams) contrast.

Gauge:
28 sts & 40 rows per 10 cm; 7 sts & 10 rows per inch.*

Sizes:
S-M-L-XL-XXL.

Finished width:
36 (40-44-48-52) inches
92 (102-112-122-132) cms.
