{"product_id":"celeste-sweater-man-petite-knit-patterns","title":"Celeste Sweater Man | Petite Knit patterns","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Celeste Sweater Man is worked from the top down and has a circular yoke. First a folded neck edge is worked, then the yoke is worked in the round in the charted colorwork pattern using 5 different colors. Short rows are worked after the stranded pattern has been completed to raise the back and create a nice fit. The body and sleeves are worked in the round in stockinette stitch and finished with a rib edge. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that stranded knitting often needs to be worked on a needle 0.5-1 mm larger to maintain the same gauge as the stockinette stitch sections worked in one color. For this reason, you need to work a swatch in both the stranded colorwork pattern and in solid stockinette stitch before starting your sweater. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pattern contains charts with the colors of the blue Celeste Sweater Man alongside blank charts that can be colored with your own chosen colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Celeste Sweater Man is designed to have approx. 10-15 cm [4-6 inches] of positive ease. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 86-91 (91-96) 96-101 (101-107) 107-113 (113-119) 119-124 (124-132) 132-144 cm [33¾-35¾ (35¾-37¾) 37¾-39¾ (39¾-42¼) 42¼-44½ (44½-46¾) 46¾-48¾ (48¾-52) 52-56¾ inches]. The measurements for the finished garment are on the front page of the pattern. Before beginning your project, measure yourself to determine which size to knit. For example, if you measure 103 cm [40½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size L. A size L sweater has a bust circumference of 119 cm [46¾ inches] which in the given example would give you 16 cm [6¼ inches] of positive ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSizes: \u003c\/b\u003eXS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBust circumference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 105 (109) 113 (119) 125 (132) 136 (144) 156 cm [41¼ (43) 44½ (46¾) 49¼ (52) 53½ (56¾) 61½ inches]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength: \u003c\/strong\u003e68 (69) 70 (71) 72 (73) 74 (75) 76 cm [26¾ (27¼) 27½ (28) 28¼ (28¾) 29¼ (29½) 30 inches] (measured mid back excl. neck edge)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] in stockinette stitch on a 4 mm [US6] needle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20 sts x 20-22 rows = 10 x 10 [4 x 4 inches] in colorwork pattern on a 4.5 mm [US7] needle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circular needles: 4.5 mm [US7] and 4 mm [US6] \/ 60, 80 and\/or 100 cm [24, 32 and\/or 40 inches], 3.5 mm [US4] \/ 80 or 100 cm [32 or 40 inches] and 3 mm [US2½] \/ 40 cm [16 inches] \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDouble-pointed needles: 4 mm [US6] and 3.5 mm [US4] (unless the Magic Loop technique is used)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/strong\u003eMain color: 550 (600) 600 (650) 700 (700) 750 (750) 800g Double Knit yarn (approx. 50 g = 91 m [98 yds])\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContrast color 1: 50 (50) 50 (50) 50 (50) 50-100 (100) 100 g DK (approx. 50 g = 91 m [98 yds])\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContrast color 2: 50 (50) 50 (50) 50 (50) 50 (50-100) 100 g DK (approx. 50 g = 91 m [98 yds])\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContrast color 3: 50 g DK (approx. 50 g = 91 m [98 yds])\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContrast color 4: 50 g DK (approx. 50 g = 91 m [98 yds])\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty: \u003c\/strong\u003e★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (5 out of 5)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester Wool \u0026 Yarn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57792876183883,"sku":null,"price":6.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0792\/9285\/8699\/files\/IMG-2306.png?v=1783515778","url":"https:\/\/manchesterwoolandyarn.com\/products\/celeste-sweater-man-petite-knit-patterns","provider":"Manchester Wool \u0026 Yarn ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
