Dear Deer Pullover

**NOTES** This sweater is worked from the top down with raglan shaping. Asmall section of short rows is worked at the front of the neck for a more relaxedfit. Sleeve instructions are written to use DPNs, however an alternate methodof working small circumferences can be used, such as Magic-Loop, or a short circular needle for the larger sizes. As the yoke increases or decreases, change to the appropriate length of circular needle. When working strandedcolour work, keep floats in the back loose to maintain stretch. For floats longer than 5 sts, twist yarns together in the back. **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** **Bust Circumference:** 39¼ (44½, 49¼, 54, 59, 64, 69)” / 99.5 (113, 125, 137, 150, 162.5, 175 ) cm **Raglan Depth (centre front to neckband):** 6¾ (7¾, 9, 9, 10, 11, 12)” /17(19.5, 23, 23, 25.5, 28, 30.5) cm **Body Length to Underarm (at centre front):** 15 (15, 15, 15, 16, 17, 17)”/ 38 (38, 38, 38, 40.5, 43, 43) cm **Upper Arm:** 13 (14, 15½, 16½, 17¾, 20¼, 21½)” / 33 (35.5, 39.5, 42, 45, 51.5, 54.5) cm **Sleeve length to Underarm:** 17 (17½, 17½, 18, 18, 18½, 18½)” / 43 (44.5, 44.5, 45.5, 45.5, 47, 47) cm **GAUGE** 24 sts & 30 rnds = 4” / 10 cm in Stockinette / Stocking stitch on a 3.75mm(US 5) needle, after blocking. 26 sts & 27 rnds = 4” / 10 cm over stranded colour work on a 3.75 mm(US5) **NEEDLES** 3.25 mm (US 3) circular needle 16” / 40 cm and an optional set of Double Pointed Needles (DPNs) 3.75 mm (US 5) circular needle 16” / 40 cm, 32” / 80 cm (or longer for larger sizes), and an optional set of Double Pointed Needles (DPNs) needle, after blocking. **NOTIONS** 8 stitch markers (1 of a different colour to mark BOR), waste yarn or stitchholders, tapestry needle,
