Pattern level: Intermediate
Sizes: XS - 2X/3X - when you download the pattern please scroll down to see all sizes.
Materials:
- Loopy Mango Dream Yarn 109 yds 100 m | 50 g 1.8 oz each, 100% merino wool
-
Size US 15 (10 mm) circular needles 32" (80 cm)
-
Size US 17 (12 mm) circular needles 32" (80 cm)
Note: This project requires size US17 (12 mm) 32’’ (80 cm) and size US15 (10 mm) 32’’. For sleeves and neckband you will need to use magic loop method because the length of the needle is too long. To avoid magic loop for the sleeves you can optionally use a shorter circular needle size US17 20’’ OR US17 DPN’s. For the cuffs of the sleeves you can optionally use size US15 DPN’s. For the neckband you can optionally use either a shorter circular needle size US15 20’’ OR US15 DPN’s.
Gauge: Stockinette on size US 17: 9.5 sts/4", 13 rounds/4"; Rib on size US 15: 12 sts/4’’, 20 rounds/4’
Note: Be sure to work your swatch in the round since the body and sleeves are worked in the round. For many knitters, working stockinette in the round yields a different row gauge than working it flat, since they are working only knit stitches, not knit and purl stitches.
