Description:Ledger Stripe Sweater - P285

This Drop Shoulder sweater is worked from the top down in a simple stripe pattern (no seaming required) Once you have reached the underarm section, stitches are placed on a stitch holder or scrap piece of yarn. Stitches are then picked up and knitted for each shoulder, and then joined to form the front yoke. The front and back yoke are then joined to form the body, which is worked in the round.
Sleeve stitches are picked up around the sleeve opening and worked in the round, down to the cast off Rib. You can use double pointed needles or the Magic Loop technique. Stitches are then picked up around the neckline and worked in a Rib Pattern.
I strongly suggest working up a swatch to determine which needle size will give you the correct gauge / tension. The stitch gauge needs to be correct to ensure your sweater has the same measurements given for this pattern. The row/round gauge is not as important as lengths can be adjusted by the individual knitter to suit.
