Coffeehouse Fade

**ABOUT** A sweater for your mini skein sets! This pattern includes colour plans for three types of mini skein sets: 20 minis, 24 minis (or 20 minis plus 1 full skein), and 24 minis + 1 full skein. Every round is written out for all three version. This sweater is a compound raglan using my Resource Raglan framework — although this pattern is complete on it’s own. The compound raglan and short rows results is a really comfortable fit and neckline. The rest of the sweater is worked in the round. The sample was knit using Coast to Coast Yarn Co’s Fantasy Coffeehouse themed mini skein set. *this listing will be updated with colour photos on January 1st to protect the secret colourways until the end of their countdown* **SIZES** FINISHED CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE Size 1: 28 inches / 71 cm Size 2: 30 inches / 75 cm Size 3: 32 inches / 81 cm Size 4: 34 inches / 86 cm Size 5: 36 inches / 91 cm Size 6: 38 inches / 97 cm Size 7: 40 inches / 102 cm Size 8: 42 inches / 107 cm Size 9: 44 inches / 112 cm Size 10: 46 inches / 117 cm Size 11: 48 inches / 122 cm Size 12: 50 inches / 127 cm Size 13: 52 inches / 132 cm Size 14: 54 inches / 137 cm Size 15: 56 inches / 142 cm Size 16: 58 inches / 147 cm Size 17: 60 inches / 152 cm Size 18: 62 inches / 157 cm Size 19: 64 inches / 163 cm Size 20: 66 inches / 168 cm Size 21: 68 inches / 173 cm Size 22: 70 inches / 178 cm **EASE** This sweater can fit however you like! I knit the sample to fit the intended wearer with 0 - 4 inches of positive ease. When selecting a size, I would encourage you to think about how you like things to fit your own body. If you like a closer-fitting garment, choose a Finished Chest Circumference with 2 - 4 inches of positive ease. If you like a looser-fitting garment, choose a Finished Chest Circumference with 6 - 8 inches of positive ease, or more! **YARN REQUIREMENTS** Your yardage will depend on your gauge, size and yarn chosen. *each mini skein: 20 grams, 80 yards* 20 MINI SKEINS: Sizes 1 - 12 24 MINI SKEINS or 20 MINI SKEINS + 1 FULL SKEIN: Sizes 1 - 16 24 MINI SKEINS + 1 FULL SKEIN: Sizes 7 - 22 **SUGGESTED NEEDLES** use size needed to obtain gauge, these are the sizes I was able to obtain gauge with: MAIN FABRIC: 3.5mm circular needles, 32 inches / 80 cm or longer.
