LOWER BODY
Using larger circular needle, CO 161[181, 201, 221, 241, 261, 281] sts. Do not join.
Work in garter stitch until work measures 2[2, 2, 2, 2, 2.5, 2.5] inches. Set Up Body Pattern:
Using smaller circular needle, continue as follows: Set-up Row [RS]: K15[17, 19, 21, 23, 24, 25], place marker, work next 15[17, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25] sts in 1x1 Twisted Rib, place marker, k12[13, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22], place marker, k19[22, 24, 26, 29, 32, 34], place marker, work next 39[43, 49, 55, 59, 63, 69] sts in 1x1 Twisted Rib, place marker, k19[22, 24, 26, 29, 32, 34], place marker, k12[13, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22], place marker, work next 15[17, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25] sts in 1x1 Twisted Rib, place marker, k15[17, 19, 21, 23, 24, 25]. Next Row [WS]: K4, p to first marker, work in 1x1 Twisted Rib to second marker, p to fourth marker, work in 1x1 Twisted Rib to fifth marker, p to seventh marker, work in 1x1 Twisted Rib to eighth marker, p to last 4 sts, k4.
These 2 rows establish Body Pattern: first and last 4 sts of each row are worked in garter st, 1x1 Twisted Rib is worked over sts between first and second markers, between fourth and fifth markers, and between seventh and eighth markers. All other sts are worked in stockinette st. Third and sixth markers indicate placement of side “seams”. Continue in pattern until work measures 4.75[5, 5.25, 5.5, 5.75, 6, 6.5] inches, ending with a WS row. Waistband:
Row 1 [RS]: K to first marker, work in 1x1 Twisted Rib to eighth marker, k to end; at the same time, X[X, p2tog, X, X, X, p2tog] at each side marker (where X means don’t do anything).
Row 2 [WS]: K4, p to first marker, work in 1x1 Twisted Rib to eighth marker, p to last 4 sts, k4.
Repeat these 2 rows 3[3, 3, 3, 3, 5, 5] times more, then resume working in Body Pattern.
Continue in Body Pattern until work measures 10[11, 11.5, 12, 12.5, 12.5, 13, 13] inches, ending with a WS row. Note: Read ahead! Buttonholes are worked at same time as yoke shaping. Place Buttonholes:
Next Row [RS]: K2, yo, ssk, work in pattern as set to end.
Repeat this row every tenth row until sweater is complete (throughout remainder of lower body, as well as during yoke shaping). Continue in Body Pattern until work measures 12.5[13, 13.5, 13.5, 14, 14.5, 15] inches, ending with a WS row. Set lower body aside and work sleeves. Do not break yarn; begin first sleeve with a new ball of yarn. SLEEVES (Make 2)
Using larger double-point needles, CO 41[43, 45, 49, 49, 51, 51] sts. Join to begin working in the round, being careful not to twist. If desired, after several rounds have been worked, place safety pin or split ring marker in work to indicate beginning of round.
Work in garter stitch until work measures 5 inches. Switch to smaller double-point needles and k 5 rounds. Increase Round: K1, m1, k to last st, m1, k1.
K 5[5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 4] rounds.
Repeat these 6[6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 5] rounds 11[11, 12, 11, 12, 11, 14] times more. 65[67, 71, 73, 75, 75, 81] sts. Continue in pattern until work measures 17[17.5, 18, 18.5, 18.5, 18.5, 19] inches or desired length to underarm. Next Round: K3[3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5]. Place last 6[6, 6, 8, 8, 8, 10] sts worked on hold on waste yarn. Slip remaining 59[61, 65, 65, 67, 67, 71] sts to spare double-point needles. Break yarn, leaving a tail approx. 12 inches long. Work second sleeve in the same way, but do not place sts on spare needles after slipping sts to waste yarn.
YOKE
Using smaller circular needle and ball of yarn attached to lower body, join sleeves to body as follows. Remove side “seam” markers when placing sts on hold.
Joining Row [RS]: Work in lower body pattern to 3[3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5] sts before third (side seam) marker, place raglan marker, place next 6[6, 6, 8, 8, 8, 10] sts on hold on waste yarn; k all sts of one sleeve, place raglan marker; work lower body in pattern to 3[3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5] sts before next side seam marker (formerly sixth marker), place raglan marker, place next 6[6, 6, 8, 8, 8, 10] sts on hold on waste yarn; k all sts of remaining sleeve, place raglan marker; k to end of lower body. 267[291, 319, 335, 359, 379, 403] sts: 39[44, 49, 53, 58, 63, 67] sts for each front, 59[61, 65, 65, 67, 67, 71] sts for each sleeve, 71[81, 91, 99, 109, 119, 127] sts for back. Mark beginning of this row using safety pin or split ring marker (for ease in measuring for neckline placement). Work 1 WS row in pattern as set. While working yoke, maintain 1x1 Twisted Rib panels as set, and continue to work first and last 4 sts of each row in garter st, working buttonholes every 10 rows as established. All other sts are worked in stockinette st. Note: Read ahead! Raglan shaping and neckline shaping are worked at the same time.
As you work raglan and neckline shaping, shaping will eventually encroach on 1x1 Twisted Rib panels. When this happens, work raglan shaping sts in stockinette st. Work 2 sts at each neckline edge in stockinette st.
Raglan Decrease Row [RS]: [Work in pattern to 3 sts before raglan marker, k2tog, k1, slip marker, k1, ssk] 4 times, work in pattern to end. 8 sts decreased.
Work 1 row in pattern.
Repeat these 2 rows 18[20, 22, 22, 22, 24, 28] times more. AT THE SAME TIME, when work measures 3[3.5, 3.5, 3.5, 4, 4, 5] inches from Joining Row, ending with a WS row, shape neckline as follows: BO 9[11, 11, 14, 16, 16, 16] sts at beginning of next 2 rows.
BO 3[3, 4, 4, 7, 7, 7] sts at beginning of following 2 rows.
BO 2[2, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6] sts at beginning of following 2 rows. Neckline Decrease Row [RS]: K1, ssk; working raglan decreases as set, work in pattern to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1.
Work 1 row in pattern.
Repeat these 2 rows 2[3, 3, 3, 3, 5, 5] times more. Neckline decreases are complete; work front edge straight until raglan decreases are complete. When all decreases are complete, 81[83, 89, 97, 111, 109, 101] sts remain: 3 sts for each front, 21[19, 19, 19, 21, 17, 13] sts for each sleeve, 33[39, 45, 53, 63, 69, 69] sts for back. BO all sts. |
Using smaller circular needle and beginning at right front edge, pick up and k 1 st in each bound-off st and 3 sts for every 4 rows along right front neckline edge; 3 sts for every 4 sts along top of right sleeve, back neckline and left sleeve; 3 sts for every 4 rows and 1 st in each bound-off st along left front neckline edge.
Rows 1-4: K all sts.
Row 5 [WS]: K1, k2tog, k to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1.
Row 6 [RS]: Work as for Row 5.
Row 7 [RS]: K1, k2tog, draw first st on right needle over next st to bind off; BO all sts until 3 sts remain on left needle, k2tog and bind this st off, BO remaining st. Graft held sts of body to held sleeve sts at underarms.
Weave in ends and block as desired. Sew buttons to left front edge, opposite buttonholes. 
If you're like me, you look forward to summer the rest of the year, and
can't wait to shed those bulky, oversized, cold weather clothes. But unless you have the body of a nymph, or you work at a beach resort, you will most likely want to cover some of your problem spots, or counteract the air
conditioning chill with the perfect little lacy cardie. The beauty of this top is how easy you can lengthen the body and the sleeves. There is no shaping on either of them, so just knit as long as you want before beginning the raglan decreases. Babyboo, the yarn I selected for this project, is a dk weight soft bamboo blend yarn. When working in plain stockinette stitch, it looks best worked with US size 5 needles for the average knitter. I opted for US size 7 needles to further emphasize the lacy effect of the pattern stitch. It also took less yarn than
anticipated -- just 6 balls for the size medium. |

Soft, subtle colors mix with warm and cool neutrals for a sweater that will harmonize equally well with blue jeans or khakis. The grey bounces off the warmer tones so you would swear it was slate blue, a striking example of how a color can vary depending on its context. The yarn is a cotton-modal blend that is soft, drapey and a pleasure to knit. The body is gently shaped to avoid a boxy shape and has a little bit of extra room in the front to help prevent gaping button bands. Although it may look like fair isle at first glance, this is a mosaic pattern — no stranding, just one color per row. |

[Knitty's list of standard abbreviations and techniques can be found here] | This is a slip stitch, or mosaic pattern. Each row is worked using only one color, with stitches slipped in each row. As a result, stitches from previous rows appear to have been worked in a color pattern with the stitches in the current row.
When reading the chart, the column to the right of the chart indicates which color is to be used for each row. All stitches in a row which are shown in a contrasting color, should be slipped (as indicated). Every knit row is followed by a purl row of the same color, and the stitches that were worked in the knit row are worked again in the purl row.
To work a slip stitch, transfer it to the right needle without knitting or purling it. It should be slipped in such a way that it is ready to knit on the next row; for most knitters this means slipping purlwise. The working yarn is always held to the wrong side of the fabric as a stitch is slipped, and should be carried loosely behind the slipped stitch to prevent the fabric from puckering.
Do not slip the first or last stitch of any row. Maintain the first and last stitches of each row in stockinette stitch, working them in the working color for that row, regardless of what is indicated in the chart. This will produce a stable edge for seaming.
The knitted fabric produced by this pattern improves with blocking. It is important to block the gauge swatch before measuring, both to obtain an accurate measurement and to see the finished texture of the fabric.
Carry the colors not in use loosely up the side of the work. They may be cut and rejoined when necessary (at the beginning of the armhole shaping, for example). When beginning a RS row, bring the working yarn from under the other yarns to keep the edge tidy.
For all sizes, the sleeves to the beginning of the sleeve cap shaping are 40 rows (one full repeat) longer than the lower body to the beginning of the armhole shaping. This ensures that the pattern matches at the point where sleeve meets body. If you wish to change the length of the sleeves or body, ideally they should both be altered by the same number of rows. Alternately, the sleeve may be shortened by 1.25 inches by casting on 49[49, 55, 59, 65] sts and omitting the first 16 rows of the Sleeve Border (begin working border on Row 17).
The Long-Tail Cast On is recommended for this project. Directions for the Long-Tail Cast On

Three-Needle Bind Off using Two Needles:
This is my preferred method for working a Three-Needle Bind Off.
With right sides facing, slip the sts of the two pieces to be joined onto one smaller needle, so that they alternate: [1 st from front piece, 1 st from back piece] to end.
Using the yarn attached and the larger needle, k2tog, [k2tog, pass first st worked over second st] until all sts have been worked. Break yarn and draw through loop on needle.

Repeat these 2 rows for 1x1 Rib.
Ssp: Slip the next 2 sts knitwise, one at a time, to the right needle. Slip them back to the left needle and purl them together through their back loops. | |

Although Knit Picks suggests careful machine drying for this yarn, the texture created by the mosaic pattern looks best when dried flat. |
I inherited the yarn for this cardigan from my grandfather. He was an amazingly skilled knitter. During the World War Two he was an RAF engineer and was taught to knit while recovering in hospital after injuring himself while working on a plane. He loved the combination of math and knitting and worked mnly highly complex Fair Isle designs. He died when I was seven long before I learned to enjoy knitting (although I do remember making pom poms fom his leftover scraps). When my grandmother passed away last year I inherited two huge bags of his yarn that were found in her attic. This beautiful vintage 3 ply was my favorite and luckily there was just enough to make this cardigan. The wrapover is my favorite style and is one that flatters most body types. The lace and deep ribbing at the waist were inspired by vintage patterns from the forties and fifties. And, if, like me, you have to deal with the unpredictability of the Scottish climate you can wear this all year round. The original yarn is a 3ply by Patons that was discontinued years ago but any fine 4 ply will make a good if slightly heavier 4 ply. I like the Jaeger Matchmaker I chose for the neckband and ties. It's fine and soft, comes in a wide variety of colors and is machine washable. | |  model: Ysolda S. Teague photos: Sheena Stewart and Angela Cassidy |
