Fenn Sweater by Trin-Annelie

he sweater is worked in a seamless raglan construction. It starts with a provisional cast on and a few short rows to set up the neckline shape. After the colour-work is established, the yoke, body and sleeves are worked top down in the round.

The yoke is fully charted for each size and the pattern comes with a general chart and thorough instructions for the colour-work at the body and sleeves.
The colour-work pattern uses only two colours at a time.

The pattern also provides some helpful tips on how to adjust it to suit your own preferences, and there is a colouring page for you to play around with different color combinations.

SIZES:

1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9)

I recommend choosing a size with 10 cm/4” - 20 cm/8” positive ease to get a comfortable fit. Sample is shown in size 3, worn with approx. 19 cm/7½“ positive ease.

NEEDLES:

Needle A: 5.0 mm/US 8 circular needle (100 cm/40” 80 cm/32” and 60 cm/24”) or size needed for gauge.
Needle B: 4.5 mm/US 7 circular needle (80 cm/32”, 60 cm/24” and 40 cm/16”) or one size smaller than gauge needle.
Needle C: 4.0 mm/US 6 circular needle (80 cm/32”, 60 cm/24” and 40 cm/16”) or two sizes smaller than gauge needle.

GAUGE:

Colorwork pattern (including the plain stockinette rounds):
19 sts and 25 rnds in 10 cm/4” on needle A in colorwork, worked in the round (blocked).

Row gauge is important for this design, since it defines the yoke depth and therefore the fit around the shoulders, although the design allows you to adjust, if necessary.
