Description
The Out of Sorts Sweater is inspired by my love of stash busting, just imagine the stunning variety of colors you can mix!

The sweater is designed top down with a circular yoke. This colorwork design is ideal for those that want an extra cozy and colorful sweater.

The difficulty level of the pattern is considered Intermediate and so, prior sweater knitting experience is a must! The chart is relatively easy, so while chart reading experience is helpful, it’s not a prerequisite. This is a highly adaptable pattern to give the perfect fitting sweater, through the use of spreadsheets.

Sizes
A Google Spreadsheet is used for sizing.

Needles: US6/4mm, US5/3.75mm (or needles of your choice)
Note: It is very important to swatch to determine the needle size necessary to obtain gauge. Colorwork often affects a knitter’s gauge. When testing, the needle sizes were very different from knitter to knitter.

Notions: Soft tape measure, Stitch Markers (1BORM, and 19 other markers), Scissors, a Tapestry Needle.

Gauge: 23 Sts & 20 rows for 10cm/4”, knit in the round, following the colorwork chart, with largest needle, and 25 Sts 36 rows for smallest needles, while ribbing in the round.
