Deeply wearable and fully adaptable, this top-down set-in sleeve sweater features a classic silhouette with seamless construction. The pattern includes 12 sizes, optional horizontal bust darts in 6 sizes, and 4 original video tutorials. <hr> . ݁₊ ⊹ ₊ ݁. <big><big>SIZING</big></big> DEREN is designed to be fitted in the shoulders and upper chest, with a small range of positive ease at the bust/chest and waist/hips. The pattern includes detailed instructions for selecting your size and a full schematic with 16 measurements. *In the pattern photos, Jaq is wearing a size 9 with 4"/10cm of positive ease at the bust and no ease at the bicep.* **FINISHED BUST/CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE:** **In inches:** (32, 35.25, 38.25, 41.75) \[45, 48.25, 51.25, 54.75\] {58, 61.25, 64.25, 67.75}" **In centimeters:** (80, 88.5, 96, 104) \[112.5, 121, 128.5, 136.5\] {145, 153.5, 161, 169}cm → To see how Deren looks across the size range, [check out the test knitting round up here.][8] <hr> . ݁₊ ⊹ ₊ ݁. <big><big>GAUGE, NEEDLES, NOTIONS</big></big> **Gauge:** 24 sts and 32 rows over 4”/10cm in stockinette after blocking **Recommended needles:** Main needles: US 5 (3.75mm) 32"/80cm OR 40”/100cm circular; DPNs for sleeves if not using magic loop Smaller needles for ribbing only: US 4 (3.5mm) 32"/80cm OR 40”/100cm circular; DPNs for cuffs if not using magic loop **Notions:** stitch markers, locking stitch markers, darning needle, stitch holders or scrap yarn <hr> . ݁₊ ⊹ ₊ ݁. <big><big>YARN</big></big> This pattern is designed at a sport-weight gauge, which can be achieved with a number of different combinations of yarn. You can use a single strand of sport-weight or you can hold two strands of lighter weight yarn together throughout. If you hold a yarn double throughout, you will need to double the yardage recommendations shown below. Similarly, if you hold two different yarns together, you will need the full yardage in each yarn. If you choose a sport-weight yarn held single, you will need exactly the yardage shown below. *Please note that working significant adjustments to your sweater will affect the yardage.* **CROPPED:** Yards: (420, 490, 560, 630) \[735, 840, 945, 1050\] {1190, 1330, 1470, 1610} Meters: (385, 520, 600, 660) \[780, 880, 1000, 1100\] {1240, 1400, 1540, 1680} **FULL LENGTH:** Yards: (665, 735, 805, 875) \[980, 1085, 1190, 1330\] {1435, 1575, 1715, 1855} Meters: (615, 685, 735, 805) \[895, 1000, 1085, 1190\] {1315, 1435, 1575, 1700} **Other suitable yarns:** $ [Briggs & Little Sport][9] [Brown Sheep Nature Spun Sport][10] $$ [Harrisville Designs FlyWHEEL][11] [Sincere Sheep Cormo Sport][12] [Retrosaria Vovó][13] $$$ [The Farmers Daughter Fibers Recollect][14] [Little Skein in the Big Wool Harvest][15] [La Bien Aimée Helix (held double)][16] <hr> . ݁₊ ⊹ ₊ ݁. <big><big>SHARING</big></big> See pictures of other Deren sweaters and share pictures of your own progress on Instagram with the hashtag [#DerenTee][17].
