One of my favorite previous designs of all time is the [AttaGirl Sweater][2] as it is so very wearable. I have made 4 of these as cardigans and wear them spring, summer and fall-over T-shirts and dresses. The open lacework mesh sections really do allow for airflow so, although you are holding yarn double, it does not make you feel warm. This sweater is dedicated to women: daughters, sisters, mothers, grandmothers and friends who are twined together in a common, supportive thread. >Marled is defined in the urban dictionary as: A smart intelligent gorgeous young female. She has this thing about her, that the more you’re around her, the more you fall in love with her. AttaGirl is an expression of congratulations or praise directed at a female. PATTERN NOTES: This sweater is worked in two colors of fingering weight yarn held together for a marled effect. Worked top down with raglan shaping, the top's body is in a simple YO, K2tog mesh. The sleeves are stockinette stitch. EASE: Intended to be worn with 2-4” (5-10 cm) positive ease. To achieve this, please choose a size that is 2-4” (5-10 cm) bigger than your bust/chest circumference YARN: 2 (3, 3, 3)(3, 4, 4)(4, 4, 5)(5, 5) skeins EACH of 2 colors in fingering weight yarn (437 yds/400 m per 100 g) HELD DOUBLE THROUGHOUT, approximately 789 (885, 970, 1087)(1202, 1312, 1463)(1562, 1651, 1785)(1880, 1956) yds/722 (810, 887, 994)(1100, 1200, 1338)(1429, 1510, 1633)(1720, 1789) m EACH color for a total of 1577 (1771, 1940, 2173)(2403, 2625, 2925)(3125, 3302, 3569)(3761, 3912) yds/1443 (1620, 1774, 1987)(2198, 2401, 2675)(2858, 3020, 3264)(3440, 3578) m.
