Foggy Sweater

FOGGY SWEATER is a sweater with refined balloon silhouette. Its gently sloped drop shoulders, deep armholes, and gradually narrowing sleeves make this sweater wears like a breeze. Selvage on the armhole can be visible or hidden. If your choice of yarn knits fluffy and/or squishy, the visible selvage would accentuate the finished sweater with more charm. Fitted or oversized, feel free to try your own interpretation of sizing, away from the recommended ease, to bring out the uniqueness of this sweater. Hope this sweater makes your knitting more playful. This sweater starts topdown from the shoulder. First, create the back shoulder with short rows then continue to the armhole. Pick up stitches from the back shoulder, shape the shoulder with short rows, and increase for the neckline and continue to the armhole. After joining the front and back, knit round to the hem. For the sleeves: pick up from the armhole to knit round to the cuff. Finally, pick up stitches from the neckline to finish the neckband. **SIZES** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) Finished measurements Chest circumference: 38.5 (41, 44.5, 48, 51.5, 55)ʺ / 98 (104, 113, 122, 131, 140) cm Armhole circumference: 18.75 (18.75, 19.5, 20.75, 22.25, 23.5)″ / 48 (48, 50, 53, 56.5, 60) cm Body length: 22.5 (22.5, 22.75, 23.5, 24, 24.75)″ / 57 (57, 58, 60, 61, 63) cm Length from center of back to cuff end: 28.25 (28.5, 29.25, 30, 30.25, 30.75)″ / 72 (73.5, 74.5, 76.5, 77, 78) cm Recommended ease +6-8ʺ / 15-20 cm **YARN** This yarn is recommended for lighter weight with less amount of yarn; 6 (6, 6, 7, 7, 8) skeins Tage yarn by Woolfolk (70% Ovis 21 Ultimate Merino and 30% Mohair; 142 yds / 130 m per 50 g), Worsted weight *For the size 3, since the yardage required for the Tage is just about to use up all of the skeins mentioned above, please add more number of skeins in case of adding the length for the sleeves and/or body.* Or yardage for worsted weight yarn: approx. 929 (962, 995, 1072, 1159, 1236) yds / 850 (880, 910, 980, 1060, 1130) m **GAUGE (after blocked)** 18 sts and 23 rnds = 4ʺ / 10 cm in stockinette stitch on main fabric needle **SUGGESTED NEEDLES** Main fabric: US 7 (4.5 mm) 32ʺ / 80 cm and longer circular needle, or size to obtain gauge Hem and cuffs: US 6 (4 mm) 32ʺ / 80 cm circular needle Neck band: US 6 (4 mm) 24ʺ / 40 cm circular needle **NOTIONS** Markers (2), tapestry needle, stitch holder, spare circular needle (2-2.5 mm size and 80 cm long) for visible selvage option **SHARE** #foggysweater #plainneedleworks @pucco_h ------- *I really appreciate your help.
