Woolweft Sweater

**ABOUT** Woolweft uses slip stitch mosaic to create transitions between four colours in this top down sweater. Short rows are worked at the beginning of the yoke, and then into a compound raglan, offering a comfortable fit. Slip stitch mosaic can be a great introduction to colourwork, as you only need to carry one strand at a time. The sleeve length is adjustable to target your perfect fit. This pattern includes both written and charted instructions for mosaic sections. **SIZES** 1, 2, 3 (4, 5, 6) 7, 8, 9 (10, 11, 12) Size 1 chest circumference: 32 inches | 81 cm Size 2 chest circumference: 36 inches | 90 cm Size 3 chest circumference: 40 inches | 101 cm Size 4 chest circumference: 44 inches | 111 cm Size 5 chest circumference: 48 inches | 121 cm Size 6 chest circumference: 52 inches | 131 cm Size 7 chest circumference: 56 inches | 141 cm Size 8 chest circumference: 60 inches | 151 cm Size 9 chest circumference: 64 inches | 162 cm Size 10 chest circumference: 68 inches | 172 cm Size 11 chest circumference: 72 inches | 183 cm Size 12 chest circumference: 76 inches | 193 cm **EASE** This sweater can fit however you like! The sample was knit to fit the intended wearer with 4 - 6 inches of positive ease. When selecting a size, I would encourage you to think about how you like your sweaters to fit. If you like a closer-fitting garment, choose a Finished Chest Circumference with 0 - 2 inches of positive ease. If you like a looser-fitting garment, choose a Finished Chest Circumference with 6 or more inches of positive ease. Consider other dimensions such as Upper Arm Circumference when selecting a size to target your favourite fit. **YARN REQUIREMENTS** Your yardage will depend on your gauge, size and yarn chosen.
