Description

Note from PetiteKnit: The Louisiana Sweater is worked from the top down with raglan increases on the yoke. The ribbing at the neck edge is folded and knitted together to form the neckline. The Louisiana Sweater has a short, feminine fit. The sleeves have tight fitting ribbed cuffs. I recommend using the Italian bind-off method on cuffs and hem for a neat, elastic edge. Skill level: advanced beginner.

Note from ImagiKnit: We used 1 strand of Lang’s Phoenix yarn for our shop sample, pictured in color 65. The effect is slightly more airy and semi-sheer in spots. If you are local, please come by the shop and check it out in person!

SIZES:
Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of:

[31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37½ (37½-39½) 39½-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ inches] or 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm

The Louisiana Sweater is designed to have approx. 4-6 inches or 10-15 cm of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 4-6 inches or 10-15 cm larger in circumference than your widest upper body measurement.

GAUGE:
10 stitches x 14 rows in Stockinette stitch on US 13 / 9 mm needles with 1 strand of Lang Phoenix = 4″ x 4″ or 10 x 10 cm after blocking

Please note the original pattern calls for double stranding a thinner yarn to get gauge. With this kit, you will just hold one strand of Phoenix (a super bulky yarn).
