Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
Ziggy zigs and zags like Bowie on stage, combining the zingy zigginess with a Missoni-like stripe pattern. It looks complicated, but all you need is variegated yarn, the ability to count to 22 and to do some increases and decreases within your round.
The shaping of the sweater is made by knitting it bottom-up in a variation of Susie Myers’ contiguous shoulder shaping, with an excellent sleeve fit, a slight A-line to the body and a deep round neckline finished off with applied I-cord
sizes: XS (S, M, L, XL,2X) (72/76, 80/86, 91/96, 102/106, 111/116,121/126) cm 28/30(32/34, 36/38, 40/42, 44/46,48/50)“ bust circumference.
finished measurements armpit(laid flat): 40(45, 50, 55, 60,65) cm 16 (18, 20, 22, 24,26)”.
finished length: 61(63,65,67,69,70)cm/ 24, 25,26,27,27.3,28)“.
sample garment: model is 1.80m/5’11”, size S, and is wearing an M.
yarn:
MC: madelinetosh tosh merino light(tml) (fingering 100% Merino, 360 yards/117 grams), 0.5(0.7,1, 1, 1,1) skein Onyx
CC1: Wollmeise Lace garn (light fingering 100% Merino, 1200 yards/300 grams), 0.1(0.1,0.3, 0.2, 0.3,0.3)skein Birkenrinde (50 grams)
CC2: Walk Collection Cozy Merino Fingering, 0.5(0.7, 0.7, 0.7, 1, 1) skein Graphic(360 yards/110 grams)
CC3: madelinetosh tosh merino light(tml), 0.5(0.7, 0.7, 0.7, 1, 1) skein Silver Fox (fingering 100% Merino, 360 yards/117 grams)
Alternatives: many fingering weight yarns will work, for example sock yarns, Drops Extrafine Merino Baby, madelinetosh MCN fingering or Dandelion, etc.
colors and striping: If you want a shorter sweater, skip one repeat in all stripe patterns. If you want a longer sweater, add a repeat to each stripe pattern. If you have less colors in your stash, make your own chart and divide the colors over the amount of stripes you’ll need.
gauge: Washed and blocked: 23st/28 rounds at 10cm/4” in pattern in the round.
