CONSTRUCTION

• The pieces are worked flat and sewn together. The front and back are worked using the Intarsia method, with increases and decreases on each side of the color change to shift the division line between the color blocking. The neckband is picked up and worked circularly after garment assembly.

FINISHED DIMENSIONS

• 32 (36¼, 40¼, 44½, 48¾, 52¾)” circumference at chest
• Sample shown is size 36¼” with 4¼” ease on model

GAUGE

• 23 stitches & 38 rows = 4″ in stockinette stitch with Size A needle(s), after blocking

NEEDLES

Size A (for Main Fabric)

• One pair of straight needles or a 32″ circular needle* in size needed to obtain gauge listed

Size B (for Edgings)

• One pair of straight needles or a 32″ circular needle* and one 16″ circular needle, one size smaller than Size A

*Knitter’s preferred style of needle may be used Note: If you have adjusted the needle size to obtain the correct gauge, it may or may not be necessary to make a matching adjustment to the needle size used for Tubular Cast On due to variance in individual work. You may wish to test your chosen cast-on method on your swatch.
