This is where he met my partner's grandmother. With this sweater pattern I hope that you too will be able to slowly create a fabulous piece that will be shared with generations to come. **Pattern Overview** St Andrews Sweater is worked in the round from the bottom to the top with raglan shaping. It features a simple cable pattern on the front and back, which is mirrored down the length of the sleeves. There is simple waist shaping to create an elegant fit. The ribbing is worked in half twisted rib and the neckline is folded double to create a timeless sweater. **Sizes:** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6), (7, 8, 9, 10, 11) **Recommended ease:** I recommend approximately 20 - 25 cm positive ease. **Finished Sweater Chest Circumference (cm):** 97 (101, 108, 114, 120, 124), (131, 137, 143, 150, 158) **To fit a chest circumference (cm):** 73-77 (77-81, 81-88, 88-94, 94-100, 100-104), (104-111, 111-117, 117-123, 123-130, 130-138) **Gauge:** 19 sts / 10cm and 25 rounds / 10 cm on larger needles, in stocking stitch after blocking **Needles:** 4.0 mm (US 6) circular needles of circumference 40 cm (16-inch) and 23 cm (9-inch) for the neck band and wrist cuff respectively. 4.5 mm (US 7) circular needles of circumference 80 cm (32-inch), 40 cm (16-inch) and 23 cm (9-inch) for the body, neck and sleeve respectively. **Yarn requirements:** 5 (5, 6, 6, 6, 7), (7, 8, 8, 9, 9) 100g balls John Arbon Textiles Devon Naturals Aran (176m/100g) **Samples:** 1) (younger man) 700g of John Arbon Textiles Devon Naturals Aran (10% Zwartbles / 90% Exmoor Blueface (176m/100g (193yards / 100g) in the colourway ‘Ethel’.
