Yarn: fingering, #1. I used about 8g so about 45 yards of primavera tejiendo cariño. I will try making it
with wool like one day.
Needles: 2.25mm double pointed needles. You can use magic loop and circulars or perhaps work it flat
and seam it.
Materials: 5 stitch markers for beginning of the row (BOR) and to mark where to decrease.
Gauge: in stockinette, 18 stitches by 28 rows correspond to 2in by 2in.
Final measurements: will have to ask recipient to measure it
Notes: This is made bottom up.
The armhole
The armhole gapes a little bit which is why I decided to bind off 3 stitches instead of 4.
// Some people might place markers in between the sections (front to left arm, left arm to back, back to
right arm, right arm to front). You don’t need to because I will count stitches for you to increase. But just
in case, I will use markers too as this is what gave me trouble with my red sweater. Make sure your
markers are different from your BOR marker.
Round 69: k8, bind off 3, k17, bind off 3, k9.
Round 70: k8, PM, cast on 14, PM, k17, PM, cast on 14, PM, k9. [62 stitches]
Round 71-73: do 3 (or 4) rows of stockinette.
// Now we’re going to start raglan decreasing. You will be decreasing 8 stitches for each round, followed
by a round of plain stockinette. For each of the four markers, you will knit to two stitches before the
marker and then ssk decrease those two stitches, then slip the marker to the next needle and decrease
k2tog the stitches after the marker.
