CONSTRUCTION

• The body and sleeves are worked circularly and joined at the underarms, then the yoke is worked in the round. While shaping the neck, the yoke is worked back and forth. The neckband is picked up and worked in the round after the garment is blocked.

FINISHED DIMENSIONS

• 33 (38, 41, 46, 49, 54)” circumference at chest
• Sample shown is size 38″ with +4″ ease on models

Need help picking a size? See our resource page on Selecting a Sweater Size 101.

GAUGE

• 20 stitches & 30 rounds = 4″ in Double Moss Stitch with Size A needle(s), after blocking
• 47-stitch panel from Cascades Chart measures 8¼” wide with Size A needle(s), after blocking
• 7-stitch panel from Right-Leaning or Left-Leaning Side Chart measures 1¼” wide with Size A needles, after blocking

Note: Correct length of the one-piece yoke is dependent upon achieving the stated round gauge.

NEEDLES

Size A (for Main Fabric)

• One each 16″, 24″ and 32″ (or 40″) circular needle and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs)* in size needed to obtain gauge listed
• Suggested Size: 4½ mm (US 7)

Size B (for Ribbing)

• One each 16″, 24″ and 32″ (or 40″) circular needle and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs)* one size smaller than Size A

*32″ (or 40″) circular needle can be used instead of DPNs if using the Magic Loop method for working small circumferences in the round (i.e., Sleeves).

Please note: the stitch patterns in this garment are charted only.
