---------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN: ---------------------------------------------------------- GARTER STITCH (back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge vertically = knit 2 rows. INCREASE/DECREASE TIP (evenly): To calculate how to increase/decrease evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 50 stitches) and divide stitches by number of increases/decreases to be done (e.g. 6) = 8.3. In this example increase by making 1 yarn over after approx. every 8th stitch. On next round work yarn over twisted to avoid hole. To decrease in this example knit approx. every 7th and 8th stitch together. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.8. See diagram for your size in A.2 and A.5. INCREASE TIP (applies to sleeves): Work until 1 stitch remains before marker thread, 1 yarn over, knit 2 (marker thread is in the middle of these stitches), 1 yarn over. On next round knit yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. ---------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ---------------------------------------------------------- SWEATER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: Front piece and back piece are worked back and forth on circular needle, bottom-up.
