"The NPJ" Sweater Knitting Pattern 10 sizes
Hi Friends,
This pattern was paid to be tech-edited/reviewed but was NOT tested (which is why feel comfortable lowering my prices). Enjoy your sweaters! I can't wait to see your colors on IG!
Pattern Details
Sizes: 36(40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72)”/91(102, 112, 122, 132, 142, 152, 163, 173, 183) cm.
Gauge: 24 stitches and 24 rows per 4” (10 cm) with fingering weight held double OR one strand of worsted weight yarn.
Needles: (1) 24” (2) 40” circular needles in size needed to achieve gauge listed above (suggested size: US 10/6mm).
- note: Everyone knits differently, so I HIGHLY recommend you do a gauge swatch before starting your sweater to ensure that your gauge is correct for the pattern. You may prefer going down in needle sizes depending on your tension and the finished fabric of your swatch. Remember, your tension may change when doing colorwork versus knitting in stockinette, so you might prefer to use 2 different needle sizes (1 for the colorwork section and 1 for the stockinette section).
Materials Used: Yarndyeries held double (Fingering; 100% merino wool; 434 yds/115 g, OR any other yarn that knits up to desired gauge).
Other notions: Stitch markers, crochet hook/tapestry needle, scrap yarn/stitch holder, tape measure and scissors.
