Moorlands Sweater

The Moorlands Sweater is a simple sweater worked from the top down in stockinette stitch. The design has a slightly shorter fit, which can be adjusted to suit your preference, underarm shaping and short rows over the shoulders and sleeves to provide an excellent fit and drape. The sweater is finished with a simple I-cord edge on the neck and sleeves and a knit-over-knit bind-off on the body with built in decreases; all work together to create an elegant and sophisticated look. First the back is worked back and forth. Stitches are then picked up from the cast-on edge to form each shoulder, and short rows are used to achieve the perfect shoulder fit. The shoulders are joined at the front of the neck after shaping the neckline, and the front is knitted back and forth; once complete, the front and back are joined under the arms. The body is then knit in the round and finished with a simple knit-over-knit bind-off. Stitches are picked up along the armhole for the sleeves and short rows worked to provide further shaping, before working in the round in stockinette stitch with decreases to taper and finishing with an I-cord edge. Finally, stitches are picked up and a final I-cord is worked along the neck. **Sizes:** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) 10, 11 Sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) 10, 11 are intended to fit an approximate actual bust circumference of 75 (80, 85, 90, 95) (100, 110, 120, 130) 140, 150 cm. **Bust circumference of finished garment:** 93.5 (99, 103, 108.5, 114.5) (118, 129.5, 139, 148.5) 158, 169.5 cm **Upper arm circumference of finished garment:** 33.5 (34.5, 36, 37, 38) (40, 42, 45.5, 49.5) 53.5, 56 cm **Recommended length of finished garment:** 48.5 (49.5, 49.5, 50, 51) (51, 51.5, 53, 53.5) 54.5, 55 cm (measured mid-back excluding neck edge) **Recommended length of finished sleeve:** 46 cm (measured from the underarm joining round) **Yoke depth:** 19.5 (20.5, 20.5, 21, 22) (22, 22.5, 24, 24.5) 25.5, 26 cm (measured mid-back excluding neck edge) **Gauge:** 21 sts x 28 rows in stockinette stitch on 4mm needles = 10 x 10 cm after blocking **Needles:** Circular needles: 3.5mm (100 – 120 cm), 4mm (40 - 120 cm) **Materials:** 230 (240, 245, 260 270) (275, 295, 315, 340) 360, 385 g Cashmere Sock by Sysleriget (100g = 400m) held together with 115 (120, 120, 130, 135) (140, 150, 160, 170) 185, 190 g Brushed Deluxe by Sysleriget (50g = 400m) OR 110 (110, 115, 120, 130) (135, 140, 150, 160) 175, 185 g Silk Mohair by Sysleriget (50g = 420m) Amounts include a 5% buffer rounded to the nearest 5g.
