Raquette Pullover

**Construction**: The body is worked flat from the top down. The front shoulders are cast on and worked separately, then joined at the center neck. The back panel is picked up from the shoulders and worked top-down. The sides are seamed. Stitches are picked up for the neck and sleeves. Sleeves are worked in the round. This pattern contains charted brioche, with written instructions attached at the end **Please note**: This pattern has been technically edited and tested. Unfortunately I was unable to find a tester for size 8, and my size 9 and 10 testers could not finish for unforeseen & unrelated reasons. I do not anticipate there being any errors specific to these sizes. However, if you intend to knit a size 8-10, please message me on Ravelry, Instagram, or email and I am happy to provide a copy free of charge if you are willing to send me finished measurements upon completion. I want this pattern to be as size inclusive as possible. Please reach out if there is not a size that accommodates you and I would be happy to extend the sizing. **Sizes**: Available in sizes 1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6, 7) (8, 9, 10) to fit bust measurement of: 28-30 (32-34, 36-38, 40-42) (44-46, 48-50, 52-54) (56-58, 60-62, 64-66) inches / 71-76 (81-86, 92-97, 102-107) (112-117, 122-127, 132-137) (142-147, 152-157, 162-168) cm Finished garment bust measurements are: 35 (39, 43, 47) (51, 55, 59) (63, 67, 71) inches / 89 (99, 109, 119, 130) (139, 149, 160, 170) cm Intended positive ease of 6 inches / 15 cm **Notions**: 3 stitch markers, 1 removable stitch marker, cable needle or locking stitch marker, darning needle, scissors, waste yarn or extra cord to place stitches on hold **Yarn**: Manos Del Uruguay - Alegria Fingering 75% Merino, 25% Nylon 445 yards / 100 grams *Feel free to use any fingering weight yarn that meets gauge. **Yardage**: **MC**: 880 (960, 1045, 1180) (1270, 1340, 1550) (1630, 1830, 1995) yds / 815 (885, 960, 1090) (1170, 1235, 1430) (1500, 1685, 1820) m **CC**: 660 (705, 745, 890) (925, 970, 1120) (1180, 1300, 1340) yds / 605 (650, 685, 820) (850, 890, 1025) (1080, 1200, 1230) m This yardage is for a garment length of approximately 17.5" from shoulder to bottom edge.
