Jester Sweater (Bulky)

This sweater is an all-over entrelac knit sweater with seamless, top-down in the round construction. This pattern features 2 options for sleeves (a straight sleeve and a shaped sleeve version). Along with the pattern, this also includes photo diagrams and a link to my video tutorial going over how to entrelac knit. Entrelac knitting only consists of knit, purl, and slipped stitches. If you are a beginner knitter or have never used the entrelac technique, this pattern thoroughly walks you through the process. **Youtube Video Tutorial:** https://youtu.be/A4VJ7j0TF9I?si=E1oua-s0GMebsq9v **Difficulty:** Experienced beginner **Tools:** - 6mm Circular needles. Varying cable lengths are recommended for Yoke, body and sleeves. -5.5mm Circular needles Varying cable lengths are recommended for collar, body and sleeves. **Notions:** -2 stitch holders or waste yarn -Tapestry needle -(optional) 5 stitch markers to mark BOR, where right sleeve and left sleeve start and end -(optional) Row counter **Yarn in Sample:** Juniper Moon Farms “Beatrix” yarn in the colors Sepia and Ivory. 109 yds / 50 g This technique favors a blown yarn, but it is not required. **Gauge:** Stockinette - 14 sts x 16 rounds = 4”/10cm on 6mm Needles. *I recommend knitting your gauge swatch flat rather than in the round. **If your gauge is off:** If you cannot meet gauge and you would like to see what size you should knit, please use this **gauge calculator** below. I would also suggest the following: *It is important you are closer to stitch gauge than row gauge. *Use the calculator to figure out what size you should knit. Please note that when you are knitting the yoke, the stockinette portion, before starting the base triangles, should be 1 inch long from where the collar ends at the FRONT of the neck. **Gauge Calculator:** https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PjIxSfnlYS0hUBZ2N8uwHGfFu8YEPfrIY9g1LGPdS-Q/edit?usp=sharing Please note that as the rectangles are at a diagonal, variance in either row or stitch gauge will result in variance of size of the finished garment. **Yardage:** MC Yardage (550, 682, 725, 801, 850), (967, 1126, 1253, 1364, 1575) yards CC Yardage (370, 454, 484, 534, 567), (647, 751, 835, 909, 1050) yards
