Fletcher Round Neck is a perfect round neck sweater knitted in a soft and cool blend of lambswool and organic cotton in a twisted rib knit.

Intermediate / The sweater is worked from the top down with a round yoke, which is increased to create structure in the ribbing that ends in the straw pattern. Body and sleeves are worked separately.

Twisted rib before blocking: 27 stitches / 24 rows.
Twisted rib after blocking: 18-20 stitches / 28-30 rows.

Since twisted ribbing is very stretchy and this pattern has reports with many stitches, the gauge is used deliberately to create more sizes. In other words, it is the length measurements and more blocking that make some of the difference between some sizes, and you need to knit more length on the large sizes where several sizes have the same number of stitches since the blocking makes the garment shrink in length. Use the measurements as a reference when blocking the garment (or put it on by feel), based on your experience:)
