Un grand MERCI à [Christine][2] pour son aide précieuse à traduire ce patron **en français**!!!!!! A big Grazie to Michela ([LaMicky][3]) for translating this pattern into **Italian**! I was listening to the audiobook of Le Petit Prince, when I worked on this project and now I strongly suspect that the lovely book influenced my colour choices (even if one can’t actually *see* Saint-Exupéry's lovely illustrations with the audiobook… but who knows how the little princes universe is working???) About the little, lightweight jumper: it’s quite some time now that I really wanted something cropped to wear over my everyday uniform of leggings and long tops. I wanted something flowing but still simple, boxy but with a hint of shaping, comfortable and big enough *but* with a delicate, refined neckline and long, skinny sleeves! I also experimented a bit with the sleeve-cuffs and left the neckline raw, I like it that way actually! *(Note that the pattern offers to choose between two options for the neckline: the "raw" neckline as the one in the sample pictures and a closer neckline, worked with picked up stitches)* *And* I really liked the broken seed stitch colourwork in pairing with the skinny stripes on the sleeves! Very simple to make, but with nice results!!!! *And* the almost invisible contrast of the last 3 stripes… (this must have been the sensibility of the little prince influencing me…) *And* the contrast bind off on hem and sleeves, also very fine and tone in tone. *And* I was able to use some of my little Holst scraps/left overs… *And*… all these little details made me very happy!!!! :) *All techniques and methods are either explained in the pattern itself with attached photo tutorials, or links are provided that point to web-tutorials.* **MATERIALS** **Yarn:** Holst Garn Supersoft 100% uld: 3(3,3,3,3,4,4,4) skeins MC (colourway Silver Grey) or approximately 651(725,784,839,907,973,1035,1095) yards or 595(663,717,767,829,890,946,1001) meters. 1 skein CC1 (colourway Donkey) or approximately 19(21,22,24,25,27,28,31) yards or 17(19,20,22,23,25,26,28) meters. 1 skein CC2 (colourway Topaz) or approximately 19(21,22,24,25,27,28,31) yards or 17(19,20,22,23,25,26,28) meters. 1 skein CC3 (colourway Sunrise) or approximately 25(27,30,32,34,36,38,40) yards or 23(25,27,29,31,33,35,37) meters. 1 skein CC4 (colourway Marlin) or approximately 22(24,26,28,30,32,34,36) yards or 20(22,24,26,27,29,31,33) meters. 1 skein CC5 (colourway Maize) or approximately 37(42,45,48,51,55,58,61) yards or 34(38,41,44,47,50,53,56) meters. 1 skein CC6 (colourway Camel) or approximately 37(42,45,48,51,55,58,61) yards or 34(38,41,44,47,50,53,56) meters. 1 skein CC7 (colourway Oatmeal) or approximately 81(90,97,104,112,118,125,132) yards or 74(82,89,95,102,108,114,121) meters. ...or any other light fingering weight yarn (at 314 yards or 287m/50gr) which gives you the proper gauge. *Please keep in mind that yardage is an estimate* **Sizing (body size)** X-Small (31 inches or 78,5 cm bust), Small (34 inches or 86 cm), Medium (37 inches or 94cm), Large (40 inches or 101,5 cm), X-Large (43 inches or 109 cm), XX-Large (46 inches or 116 cm), 3XL (49 inches or 124,5 cm), 4XL (52 inches or 132 cm). *You can find detailed measurements of the garment itself in the pattern (Shown in Size Small with 2 in./5cm positive ease at bust)* **Gauge** 22sts and 37 rows in 10 cm/4" in broken seed stitch on 3,5mm/ US 4 needles, after blocking. 23sts and 36 rows in 10 cm/4" in Stockinette stitch on 3,5mm/ US 4 needles, after blocking. **Needles:** 3,5mm/US4, 3mm/US2½ circular needles (at least 80 cm/31" long) and 4,5mm/US7 for BO and 2mm/US0 to pick up sts. *Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.* **Other:** Tapestry needle, stitch markers (4), stitch holders or smooth scrap yarn.
