Fabian Sweater

**CONSTRUCTION** The sweater is worked from the top down. First the sts for the back of the neck are cast on and the neckline is shaped by working back and forth and increasing the number of sts at both sides, while at the same time working raglan increases. After this, the work is joined to be worked in the round and the raglan increases are continued to the bottom of the armholes, where the sts are divided for body and sleeves. The edges are worked in rib – incl. the folded neck edge which is worked at the end using an open cast on over try-it-on-tubing. **SIZE** S (M) L (XL) 2XL **MATERIALS** 600 (650) 700 (750) 800 g Isager Tannisby *Work in 1 strand of yarn* Or 500 (550) 600 (600) 650 g Isager Jensen Yarn 200 (200) 200) 200 (250) g Alpaca 1 *Work with one strand of each yarn held together* Or 350 (350) 400 (400) 450 g Isager Uld 2 150 (150) 175 (175) 200 g Isager Silk Mohair *Work with one strand of each yarn held together* Or 350 (350) 400 (400) 450 g Isager Merilin 150 (150) 175 (175) 200 g Isager Silk Mohair *Work with one strand of each yarn held together* **MEASUREMENTS** Half chest circumference: 54 (56) 58 (61) 65 cm [21¼ (22) 22¾ (24) 25½ inches] Half width at hem: 50 (52) 54 (57) 61 cm [19¾ (20½) 21¼ (22½) 24 inches] Total length: 64 (64) 66 (66) 68 cm [25¼ (25¼) 26 (26) 26¾ inches] Body length from armhole and down: 40 (40) 40 (40) 40 cm [15 inches Big Dinosaur Rex](/patterns/library/15-inches-big-dinosaur-rex) Sleeve length from underarm: 45 cm [17¾ inches] + 7 cm [2¾ inches] rib – adjust length by adjusting rib length Sleeve circumference at armhole: 42 (43) 44 (45) 48 cm [16½ (17) 17¼ (17¾) 19 inches] Sleeve circumference at cuff: 21 (21) 22.5 (22.5) 24.5 cm [8¼ (8¼) 8¾ (8¾) 9¾ inches] Neck width - back: 17 (17) 17 (19) 19 cm [6¾ (6¾) 6¾ (7½) 7½ inches] Neck rounding - front: 9 (9) 9 (9) 9 cm [3½ (3½) 3½ (3½) 3½ inches] **GAUGE** Moss stitch (k2, p2) on a 4.5 mm [US7] needle 10 cm [4 inches] = 19 sts 10 cm [4 inches] = 32 rows Rib (k1, p1) on a 4 mm [US6] needle 10 cm [4 inches] = 22 sts 10 cm [4 inches] = 34 rows **RECOMMENDED NEEDLES** 4.5 mm [US7] 4 mm [US6] 3.5 mm [US4] 3 mm [US2½]
