EXPERIENCE

This is an easy knit perfectly suitable for adventurous beginning knitters. A provisional cast-on is utilized, but instructions are provided to replace it with a standard cast-on if you are not yet comfortable with this technique. To knit this sweater, all you need to know is basic increasing and decreasing, picking up stitches, cable cast–on along with standard cast-on and bind-off. Zipper installation (an optional finish) instructions are not provided, use the method of your choice. If you are not familiar with the no-sew method, you can check out my online course here.

YARN NOTE

Color B appears more prominently in the sweater, while Color A is used first in the Stripe Pattern and for the Ruffle Option, resulting in equal amounts of yarn needed for each color. This sweater is worked with yarn held double throughout; all yardage provided is based on this assumption. If you choose to substitute a yarn that will be held single, you will likely not need quite as much yarn. This pattern also features a chart showing yarn needed per inch and per size, in both body and sleeves in order to allow you to easily modify both sleeve and body length to your exact desired measurements. This design is worked at a looser gauge, which is successful with high alpaca or mohair content because these fibers bloom significantly to create a solid fabric. If using an alternate fiber, consider using a heavier weight yarn in order to achieve gauge without a loose fabric.
