Gauge: 18 sts and 24 rnds = 4" in St st on larger needle; 22 sts and 32 rnds = 4" in yoke patt st on smaller needle.

A NOTE ON SIZING FOR THIS PATTERN:
The finished sizes for this pattern seem large at first glance. Though these measurements represent the circumference at the hem of the sweater and throughout the body, the smaller gauge and traveling stitches at the yoke force the fabric at the underarm to gather into a functionally smaller circumference, creating a slight A-line shape.
When choosing a size to make for this pattern, consider that the functional circumference at the underarm will be approximately 37" (41", 46", 51", 58") for the sizes given, and choose a size that will give you a few inches of positive ease.

Note of pattern clarification: There are no numerical errors in the pattern. However, the designer recommends beginning the front neck shaping when the yoke measures 61/4” for all sizes (instead of just size 32”). This means that for the five larger sizes, the front neck shaping will be worked at the same time as the raglan armhole shaping.

To shape the front neck, work an M1R or M1L one stitch in from each neck edge, as directed in the Body instructions. For the collar, work until piece measures 28” for all sizes.
