Jester Sweater

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. **Difficulty:** Experienced beginner You can find the YouTube video linked here: https://youtu.be/A4VJ7j0TF9I?si=EzPe_GXCSpF3ALiy **Tools:** - 3.5 mm Circular needles. Varying cable lengths are recommended for Yoke, body and sleeves. -3.25 mm 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:** Sandnes Garn “Peer Gynt” 99 yds / 50 g DK / Light worsted **Alternative Yarn Suggestion** Drops Lima 109 yds / 50 g Worsted This technique favors a blown yarn, but it is not required. **Gauge:** Stockinette - 22 sts x 24 rounds = 4”/10cm on 3.5 mm Needles. I have a loose gauge. If you are a tight knitter, you may need to size up, or you may be better suited using a light worsted yarn rather than DK to meet gauge. 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.
