{"product_id":"october-sweater-petite-knit-patterns","title":"October Sweater | Petite Knit patterns","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe October Sweater is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch. The first section of the yoke is worked back and forth (flat) to shape the neckline, then the work is joined in the round and the rest of the yoke is worked in the round on circular needles and shaped with raglan increases. The sleeves and body are finished with a wide 2 x 2 rib edge. The rib edge at the neckline is worked from picked-up stitches at the end and folded double. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe October Sweater has an oversize fit – knit a size smaller than recommended if you would like a less oversize sweater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe October Sweater is designed to have approx. 30 cm [11¼ inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be approx. 30 cm [11¼ inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The fit is oversize. If you would like a sweater with a less oversize fit, knit a smaller size. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm [29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼-51¼) 51¼-55 (55-59) 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 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S sweater has a finished circumference of 120 cm [47¼ inches] which in the given example would give you 30 cm [11¼ inches] of positive ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSizes: \u003c\/b\u003eXXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBust circumference: \u003c\/strong\u003e111 (116) 120 (126) 130 (139) 149 (158) 168 (177) cm [43¾ (45¾) 47¼ (49½) 51¼ (54¾) 58¾ (62¼) 66¼ (69¾) inches]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength: \u003c\/strong\u003e65 (69) 70 (71) 72 (73) 74 (75) 76 (77) cm [25½ (27¼) 27½ (28) 28¼ (28¾) 29¼ (29½) 30 (30¼) inches] measured mid back incl. neck edge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21 sts x 28 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] in stockinette stitch on 4 mm [US6] needles, or the required needle size to obtain gauge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circular needles: 3 mm [US2½] \/ 40 cm [16 inches], 3.5 mm [US4] and 4 mm [US6] \/ 40, 60, 80 and\/or 100 cm [16, 24, 32 and\/or 40 inches]; \u003cspan\u003eDouble-pointed needles: 3.5 mm [US4] and 4 mm [US6] \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/strong\u003e250 \u003ca href=\"tel:(250)%20250-300\"\u003e(250) 250-300\u003c\/a\u003e (300) 300 (350) 400 \u003ca href=\"tel:(450)%20450-500\"\u003e(450) 450-500\u003c\/a\u003e (500) g 4ply\/ fingering weight (approx. 50 g = 255 m [280 yds]) \u003cstrong\u003eheld together with\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 \u003ca href=\"tel:(175)%20175-200\"\u003e(175) 175-200\u003c\/a\u003e (200) 200 (200-225) 250 \u003ca href=\"tel:(275)%20275-300\"\u003e(275) 275-300\u003c\/a\u003e (300) g Kid Silk Mohair (approx. 25 g = 212 m [232 yds]) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e: ★ ★ ★ (3 out of 5)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester Wool \u0026 Yarn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57192822145355,"sku":null,"price":6.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0792\/9285\/8699\/files\/IMG-1486.jpg?v=1777732866","url":"https:\/\/manchesterwoolandyarn.com\/products\/october-sweater-petite-knit-patterns","provider":"Manchester Wool \u0026 Yarn ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
