Ellie Sweater

**OVERVIEW** This sweater is a beginner-friendly knit with simple intarsia. You'll knit two panels flat and bottom-up: one back panel and one front panel. Both body panels will have some neck shaping. You’ll then pick-up stitches for the sleeves and knit them flat top-down. The sleeve cuffs can optionally be folded. The neck is worked in the round and can also optionally be folded. You will receive a PDF with all the steps for knitting your own sweater, with instructions for 10 sizes. The PDF will include yarn alternatives and tips to costumize the length. **SIZE GUIDE:** Sizes: XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL (6XL) The sweater of approximately 30cm [11.8 inches] of positive ease. **FIT:** Oversized **DIFFICULTY:** Easy **GAUGE:** On 6mm [US 10] needles 10x10 cm [4 x 4 inches] = 14 stitches x 19 rows in stockinette stitch **NEEDLES:** Circular needles: 6mm [US 10] / 80 or 100 cm [32 or 40 inches] and 4.5mm [US 7] / 40 cm and 80 or 100 cm[16 inches and 32 or 40 inches]. **OTHER NOTIONS:** Darning needle, scissors, 1 stitch marker. **SUGGESTED YARN** 12 ply/chunky/bulky The sample sweater uses one strand of Drops Melody (50g, 140m [153 yd]) The PDF will include yarn suggestions. **METERAGE/YARDAGE** COLOUR A 291 (320) 347 (375) 409 (466) 515 (550) 698 (635) meters [318 (350) 379 (410) 447 (510) 563 (601) 653 (695) yards].
