The Glitch is an experimental sweater design that features very different yarns and is a great waste yarn project. It is knit as a top-down Raglan sweater in the round. You can adjust the size of the sweater by gauge and also add more or less stitches for the underarm cast on. These two options (combined) will get you the perfect fit.

If you want to knit this sweater with a useful guide on how to achieve a visually striking design, you can also get the BUNDLE: The pattern plus a Workshop Paper: An in-depth, easy-to-follow guide that explores the importance of value in stranded knitting. link text

FINISHED SIZES - adjustable
Circumference bust (as shown on sample): 100 cm with a gauge of 27,5 sts
The pattern is written for one size only, but you can adjust the size by changing the
gauge. Measurements for different gauges in width including the maximal number of
underarm cast on stitches of 26 sts per side:
26sts = 106cm
24sts = 115cm
22sts = 125cm
20sts = 138cm
18sts = 153cm

GAUGE OF SAMPLE
27,5 sts x 28 rows = 10 x 10cm in Stranded Knitting on needle 3,25mm after blocking

YARN
Any yarn that will fit your intended gauge

NEEDLES USED FOR SAMPLE
Needle A: 2,75mm circular or DPNs 80cm or longer for Magic Loop 40cm for knitting in the round, with matching DPN’s.
Needle B: 3,25mm circular or DPNs 80cm or longer for Magic Loop 40cm for knitting in the round, with matching DPN’s.

IMPORTANT NOTE
By reading through the instructions you will notice that the most important thing about this pattern is that YOU decide on your gauge and needles. Sample (1) on the cover is mainly knit with sport weight yarn and one string only. The second sample is knit with DK weight yarn and I often combined two strings of fingering. That also helped for the transition between colors.
