Knitting Needles
Sizes US 11 / 8 mm: 16” / 40 cm and 32” / 80 cm circular and set of 4 or 5 double pointed needles (dpns), or size needed to obtain gauge.

Notions
Stitch markers (4 of one color and 1 in a contrasting color); stitch holders or waste yarn; tapestry needle.

Gauge
13 sts and 30 rnds = 4” / 10 cm in Stockinette Stitch holding 2 strands of yarn together. Take time to save time, check your gauge.

To obtain the bulky weight of the yarn used in this sweater, two strands of yarn are held together and worked at the same time. Alternatively, any single strand of bulky weight yarn may be used, as long as the correct gauge is obtained.

Construction Notes
The sleeves and body are knit separately from the bottom up to the underarms where they are joined and worked together for the yoke. The yoke is shaped by working a few decrease rows/rounds with decreases evenly spaced around. A keyhole is worked at the upper part of the yoke by changing to working in rows, then rejoining to work in rounds at the neck. The underarm stitches are returned to dpns and are joined using a three-needle bind-off. This is a completely seamless sweater. No sewing required!
