THE KNITTING

First of all, go get yourself a copy of Elizabeth ZimmermannÓs KnitterÓs Almanac. Immediately. It is the

greatest $7 knitting book of All Time.

[COLLAR]

Cast on 83 (87, 91, 95, 99) stitches.

Work 3 rows in garter stitch.

[YOKE]

Row 4 (setup row): k 14 (15, 16, 17, 18), mark next stitch, k 11, mark next stitch, k 28 (30, 32, 34,

36), mark next stitch, k 11, mark next stitch, k 15 (16, 17, 18, 19).

Row 5 (first increase row): *k to marked stitch, m1 on either side of marked stitch (two stitches

added)* Repeat from * 3 times, k to end.

Row 6 (WS): k 3, work buttonhole, k to end. (I think this sweater calls for fairly hefty buttonsÏI used

7/8Ñ wooden ones. Of course, this means you have to work a more complicated buttonhole than just

a simple yarn-over. ThereÓs a great tutorial for a reversible one-row buttonhole at

www.knittingonthenet.com/learn/bh5.htm .)

Repeat rows 5 and 6 a total of 18 (21, 24, 27, 30) times, working a buttonhole on an even row every

2.5 inches. [227 (255, 283, 311, 339) stitches]

Throughout the rest of the body, the first and last 8 stitches of each row will be knit in garter stitch

for the button bands.

Eyelet increases (RS): k8, pm. Work 13 YOs spaced evenly between the (239, 267, 295, 323) center

stitches. pm, k8. [240 (268, 296, 324, 352) stitches]

Work 3 more rows in garter stitch, ending with a wrong-side row.

Knit 1 repeat (4 rows) of the gull lace pattern.

[BODY]

Separate the sleeves (you will come back to them after you finish the body): K to the first marker, slip

the sleeve stitches onto scrap yarn, cast on 7 stitches on right-hand needle, k to the next marker, slip

sleeve stitches onto scrap yarn, cast on 7 stitches on right-hand needle, k to end of row. [157 (173,

189, 205, 221) body stitches]

Continue in the gull lace pattern, with 8 stitches of garter edging at the beginning and end of each

row. Because the stitch pattern is 7 stitches long, the 7 stitches you cast on at each underarm will

take up one pattern repeat.

Continue until the body is 1.5Ñ shorter than desired length.

Work 1.5Ñ of garter stitch for the bottom band. Bind off, using the larger needle.

[SLEEVES]

Using DPNs or a 12Ñ circular needle, pick up the live sleeve stitches from scrap yarn. Pick up and knit

one stitch to the right of the 7 stitches cast on under the arm, then pick up and knit the 7 cast-on

stitches, then one stitch to the left of those 7, for a total of 9 underarm stitches.

Round 1: Place marker, and join for knitting in the round, beginning on row 1 of the lace pattern. Knit

to the last 9 (underarm) stitches, ssk, k5, k2tog.

Because you are working in the round, rows 2 and 4 of the lace pattern will be knit, instead of purled.

Continue to knit sleeves in lace pattern all the way around, until they are 1.5Ñ shorter than desired

length. Work 1.5Ñ of garter stitch for cuff. Bind off, using a needle 2 sizes larger.

[FINISHING]

Block.

Sew on buttons.

Strut your stuff.

A note on sizing: You can easily make this cardigan smaller or larger by casting on fewer or more

stitches at the beginning, and/or doing fewer or more raglan increasesÏjust be sure that your final

stitch counts for the sleeves and body are a multiple of 7.

My raglan math owes a great debt to Barbara WalkerÓs Knitting from the Top, and to Laura ChauÓs

fabulous (and free!) tutorial at www.cosmicpluto.com/blog/?page_id=397 .

All mistakes are, of course, my ownÏbring them to my attention at flintknits@gmail.com .
