Ruby Sweater
The pattern is for US sizes XS/S/M/L/XL. Need 6/ 7/ 8/ 9/10 skeins.
The front and back are knitted separately, bottom-up. For the Front and Back each row starts with a slip stitch and ends with a purl stitch. Short rows are used for shoulder and neck shaping . The sleeves are knitted in a circle from shoulder down after the assembly of the body. The neck ribbing is worked in circular rows as well.
Yarn: Ecopuno Tweed from Lana Grossa: 60% cotton, 14% alpaca (baby), 10% virgin wool (merino), 16% polyester, 50g / 160m.
Alternative yarn suggestions: any wool/cotton yarn mixes where cotton makes at least 60%, acrylic is either absent or does not exceed 20% in the mix and gauge is comparable.
Experience level: Intermediate
Needle size: 2.75 mm for ribbing, 3.25mm for the main pattern of the sweater.
Gauge (using 3.25mm needles) – after washing and drying:
31.9 rows x 20stitches = 10cm x 10cm in stockinette stitch.
A row counter is needed.
