Dingley Dell

For pattern support please go to the questions thread [here][1]. **update 09/28: typo correction Italian translation** Inspired by cricket sweaters of the 90s, *Dingley Dell* is worked seamlessly from the top down using the contiguous set-in sleeve method (developed by Susie Myers) to shape the shoulders and sleeve caps. First increases are worked on both RS and WS rows to final shoulder width, then the sleeve caps are worked simultaneously with the V-neck shaping to sleeve separation. The body is then worked top down in rounds to the bottom ribbing. Short sleeves are worked top down in rounds. Neck finishing is worked last. **Yarn** WalkCollection Merlino (394 yds (360 m)/100g); shown in colors Marine and Hazelnut. approximately: C1 (blue): 430 (465, 506, 547, 603)(634, 692, 746, 789) yds/ 393 (425, 463, 500, 551)(580, 633, 682, 721) m C2 (brown): 380 (428, 457, 498, 548)(583, 650, 692, 739) yds/ 347 (391, 418, 455, 501)(533, 594, 633, 676) m total yardage: 810 (893, 963, 1045, 1151)(1217, 1342, 1438, 1528) yds/ 740 (816, 881, 955, 1052)(1113, 1227, 1315, 1397) m **Needles** US 3 (3.25 mm) 32" (80 cm) circular needle and DPNs (or longer circular needle for magic loop) for V-neck, body and sleeve finishing.
