• US 6/ 4mm 16 and 24 inch and DPN’s. This size will be used for the body of sweater, sleeves and hem ribbing.
Alternatively, you can use magic loop for any section that calls for DPN’s.

Yarn

Preferred yarn: Malabrigo Rios 210yd/100g
• Main Color: 2 (2, 2, 3) 3 (3, 3, 4) skeins (shown here in White) or 290 (340, 390, 440) 500 (550, 620, 690) yards
• Contrast Color: 2 (2, 2, 2) 2 (3, 3, 3) skeins (shown here in Fog) 235 (280, 325, 375) 425 (475, 550, 620) yards

For this pattern the main color is the one you’ll use for the neckband, cuffs, and hem ribbing as well as the body. The contrast color will be the one used on the body and sleeves only.

This pattern can be a great stash buster. Use one main color and use whatever you have on hand for the contrast color(s). It’s also great for softening the look of heavily variegated yarns as shown in the picture.

Gauge
18 sts x 40 rows in half fisherman’s rib on US 6/4mm = 4 x 4 inches when knit in the round, washed, and blocked. Remember that every knit “V” stitch is 2 rows when counting.

Our gauge swatch measured 21sts x 46 rows before blocking and 18 sts x 40 rows after blocking.

Gauge Pattern
Suggestion: cast on 40 sts and use DPN’s or magic loop to knit gauge swatch.

Set up round: k1, p1, repeat * - * entire round.
Round 1: Purl all sts.
Round 2: k1b, p1, repeat * - * entire round.

Repeat Rounds 1 and 2 until knitting measures about 4-5 inches. Wash and block.
