Sizes
XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL)
Finished Measurements
34 (39, 42, 45, 50, 54, 58, 62, 65)″ / 86 (99, 107, 114, 127, 137, 147, 157, 165)cm finished chest circumference. Measurements taken after blocking.
L size shown with about 1″ / 2.5cm of positive ease.
The yoke depth, sleeve length, and body length are customizable.
Yarn
Fingering weight held double
The marled fabric holding two strands of fingering weight together results in a DK weight gauge
Yardage
Approximately 1800 (2000, 2500, 3000, 3500, 4000, 4500, 5000, 5500)yds / 1646 (1829, 2286, 2743, 3200, 3658, 4115, 4572, 5029)m
These yardage estimations are overestimated a bit, so you should have more than enough yarn to complete your sweater. I recommend getting a big pile of yarn so you have more than enough color choices to work with as you knit.
The yardage estimations are for the total yarn amount using fingering weight held double.
Needles
US 6 / 4mm circular in 40″ / 100cm length or 1 size smaller than the larger main needle
US 7 / 4.5mm circular in 40″ / 100cm length or size needed to obtain gauge
Notions
1 stitch marker, tapestry needle, waste yarn
Gauge
20 sts & 38 rows = 4″ / 10cm in garter stitch after blocking using larger needles
If you want to make the rows “jogless” to eliminate the back center “jog”, try out this tip: Jogless Stripes
