DESIGN DETAILS
- Oversized* please see note

*PLEASE NOTE: Because of the very large stitch repeat multiple, there is a big difference between the amount of ease between sweater sizes:
The ease for a size small is 6 inches-(15.2 cm)
The ease for a size medium is 8.5 inches-(21.5 cm)
The ease for a size large is 9 inches-(22.8 cm)
The ease for a size x large is 11.5 inches-(29.2 cm)

I thought the stitch pattern was so good looking that I decided to design a sweater using it anyway.

Using either 24 stitches plus 14 stitches or 26 stitches plus 16 stitches, I used the multiple for a sweater that would give me a slightly smaller sweater. The same for the sleeves. The sleeve multiple is not neccecerily the same multiple as worked on the body of the sweater except for size x large. The difference between two stitches or three stitches between cables does not make a difference in the appearance of the finished pullover.
It is necessary for getting the correct measurements needed.

You should choose the size you would like the finished chest size of the finished pullover.
See the finished chest size on the chart below and the actual body measurements page.

For your pullover to be the correct size, it is not the brand of yarn that matters, but the GAUGE that is important. It is best to refer to the yardage to determine how many skeins or balls to purchase.
