Cocoon in a fabric at once quiet and expressive. Putting humble knits and purls to good use, Watermark exhibits a harmonious meshing of easy to love (and accomplish) textures: grid stitch, furrowed ribbing, and classic one-by-one ribbing. Nestled in between each are panels of geometric cables, branching to form chevron diamonds that shine when the light hits just right. Contemporary construction details designed to flatter, like modified drop shoulders and gentle waist shaping, marry fabric, pattern, and shape all together — the patch pockets don’t hurt, either! #sizeinclusive -------------------------------------------------------- **Construction** * Body is worked flat in one piece to the underarms. After underarm stitches are bound off, fronts and back are worked separately to the shoulder. The collar extensions are joined at the center back neck using Joinery Bind Off (see Special Techniques). Sleeves are worked circularly to the underarm, then the cap is worked flat. * Options are given for standard sleeve cuffs or folded cuffs (as shown). * Furrowed Ribbing and Grid Stitch may be worked either from charts or from written directions. Chevron Tree pattern is charted only.  **Yarn** * 13 (14, 15, 16, 17, 18) skeins of Brooklyn Tweed *Shelter* (100% American Targhee-Columbia wool; 140 yards/50 grams) * Photographed in colors *Almanac* and *Fossil* **Yardage** * 1765 (1920, 2065, 2175, 2370, 2515) total yards of worsted weight wool yarn **Gauge** * 20 stitches & 31 rows = 4" in Grid Stitch with Size A needle(s), after blocking * 37-stitch motif from Chevron Tree Chart measures 5" wide with Size A needle(s), after blocking **Needles** Size A (for Main Fabric) * One 32" circular needle and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs)\* in size needed to obtain gauge listed * Suggested Size: 4.5 mm (US 7) Size B (for Ribbing) * One 32" circular needle and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs)\*, three sizes smaller than Size A * Suggested Size: 3.5 mm (US 4) \*32” circular needle can be used instead of 16” circular and DPNs if using the Magic Loop method for working small circumferences in the round (e.g. Sleeves). **Finished Dimensions** * 39½ (43, 47½, 51, 55½, 59)” \[100.5 (109, 120.5, 129.5, 141, 150) cm] circumference at chest (with fronts overlapping) * Samples shown are sizes 43" \[109 cm] with 11" \[30 cm] ease on model, in color *Fossil*, and 55½” \[141 cm] with 12½” \[31.75 cm] ease on model, in color *Almanac* > Need help picking a size?
