Urban Rhythm

Urban Rhythm is inspired by the colours, sounds and movement of the city. The design echoes the visual cadence of piano keys – creating a rhythmic interplay between light and dark that gives the piece its name.  **SIZES** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9, 10) Recommended ease: 2.3–4" / 6–10 cm of positive ease. **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** Chest Circumference: 31.5 (35.5, 39.5, 43.25, 47.25) (51.25, 55, 59, 63, 67)" / 80 (90, 100, 110, 120) (130, 140, 150, 160, 170) cm.

Notions: Stitch markers. **GAUGE** 20 sts and 20 rows to 4" / 10 cm in mosaic patt according to chart, after blocking. **NOTES** The sweater is worked bottom up, first working the body in the round. Once the body is complete, it’s divided into two sections: front and back, which are worked flat (so you’ll need to cut the yarn at the end of each row and rejoin it at the start of the next one). Then, the pieces are joined at the shoulder area. The neckband and cuff are worked using the join-as-you-go method. Finally, the sleeves are worked seamlessly and in the round, directly from the armholes.
