Olive Sweater

Olive Sweater is a soft and light sweater featuring an allover lace pattern. It is worked seamlessly and in the round, beginning with the ribbed neckband, and continuing with the raglan-construction yoke. Then the sleeve stitches are held aside, to be finished after the body is complete. Ribbed edges finish the sleeves and the body. *Please note that the sweater is worked with 3.5 mm needles in the ribbed edges followed by either 4 mm / US6, 4.5 mm / US7 or 5 mm / US8 needles, depending on the chosen size.* **Sizes**: 9 (12, 18 months // 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) years **Finished measurements**: Chest circumference: Approx. 57 (60, 63 // 67, 73, 76, 80, 84) cm [221⁄2 (231⁄2, 243⁄4 // 261⁄4, 283⁄4, 30, 311⁄2, 33)]"; Length from shoulder to edge: Approx. 34 (36, 38 // 40, 45, 52, 56, 60) cm [131⁄2 (141⁄4, 15 // 153⁄4, 173⁄4, 201⁄2, 22, 231⁄2)] “; Sleeve length from underarm to cuff: Approx. 19 (20, 22 // 24, 27, 32, 34, 37) cm [71⁄2 (73⁄4, 83⁄4 // 91⁄2 , 103⁄4, 121⁄2 , 131⁄2 , 141⁄2 )]" **Yarn**: 1 strand of Knitting for Olive Merino (250 m [273 yd] / 50 g [1.8.oz] fingering-weight yarn, 2 (2) 3 // (3) 3 (4) 4 (4) balls; + 1 strand of Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair (225 m [246 yd] / 25 g [0.9 oz]), lace- weight yarn, 2 (2) 3 // (3) 3 (4) 5 (5) balls Sample is in Merino and Soft Silk Mohair, Mushroom Rose colorway **Needles**: 3.5 mm / US4 and 4 (4.5, 5 // 4, 5, 4, 5, 4.5, 5) mm / US6 (7, 8 // 6, 8, 6, 8, 7, 8) circular needles and double- pointed needles **Gauge**: (in Olive Sweater stitch pattern Chart B, after blocking) *Sizes 9 months, 2 and 6 years*: 25 sts x 30 rows = 10 cm [4"] with 4 mm / US6 needles; *Sizes 12 months and 8 years*: 24 sts x 28 rows = 10 cm [4"] with 4.5 mm / US7 needles; *Sizes 18 months, 4 and 10 years*: 23 sts x 26 rows = 10 cm [4"] with 5 mm / US8 needles; **Notions**: Stitch markers, waste yarn or stitch holders, tapestry needle
