A cozy pattern to fit my whole family, including my husband, daughter, son and (of course) myself! Cardigans are perfect for layering, but also for gifting because of their flexible fit. And this engaging, easy-to-memorize stitch pattern is one of my all time favorites! The “wrong” side is just as attractive as the “right” side, so you could really get two very different sweaters by simply picking up the stitches for the shawl collar from the opposite side! The sweater is knit seamlessly (except for the underarms) from the bottom up, and finished by picking up stitches for the shawl collar. Brooklyn Tweed’s Quarry makes this a fast, cozy knit that is still light to wear and very flattering!” — Andrea Mowry **SIZES** 1 (2, 3, 4)(5, 6, 7) **FINISHED CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE** **CHILDREN:** 22.5 (25, 27.5, 30)(31, 32.25, 34.75)”/ 57 (63.5, 70, 76)(79, 82, 88.5) cm To Fit: 12 mo (2 yrs, 4 yrs, 6 yrs, 8 yrs, 10 yrs, 12 yrs) **WOMEN** 34.75 (38.5, 42.25, 46)(50.75, 54.5, 58.25)”/ 88.5 (98, 107.5, 117)(129, 138.5, 148) cm **MEN** 38.5 (41, 42.25, 46)(50.75, 54.5, 58.25)”/98 (104, 107.5, 117)(129, 138.5, 148) cm **RECOMMENDED EASE** 4-5 in / 10-13 cm positive ease **YARN:** Bulky weight wool **CHILDREN:** 160 (200, 260, 300)(358, 395, 450) g 320 (400, 520, 600)(715, 790, 900) yd 293 (366, 475, 549)(654, 722, 823) m **WOMEN:** 500 (575, 623, 660)(743, 808, 848) g 1000 (1150, 1245, 1320)(1485, 1615, 1695) yd 914 (1051, 1138, 1207)(1358, 1476, 1550) m **MEN:** 600 (650, 688, 770)(860, 925, 1033) g 1200 (1300, 1375, 1540)(1720, 1850, 2065) yd 1097 (1188, 1257, 1408)(1572, 1691, 1888) m **YARN:** Brooklyn Tweed Quarry 100% wool (100 g/200 yd/183 m) **CHILDREN:** 2 (2, 3, 3)(4, 4, 5) skeins Moonstone (Size 1) & Citrine (Size 4) **WOMEN:** 5 (6, 7, 7)(8, 9, 9) skeins Sandstone **MEN:** 6 (7, 7, 8)(9, 10, 11) skeins Obsidian **NEEDLES:** Main Fabric: US #11 / 8 mm 32 in / 80 cm circular needle Double pointed needles , 32 in / 80 cm circular needle for magic loop method, or 2 circular needles; use preferred small-circumference method Ribbing: US #10.5 / 6.5 mm 40 in / 100 cm circular needle Double pointed needles, 32 in / 80 cm circular needle for magic loop method, or 2 circular needles; use preferred small-circumference method **GAUGE** 13 sts / 21 rows = 4 in / 10 cm in Oxbow Texture worked flat using Needle A (after blocking) **NOTIONS** Stitch markers, tapestry needle, smooth waste yarn or stitch holders [1]: http://eepurl.com/diPxsr
