Sized for EVERYONE
Intermediate / Advanced

The UNIVERSAL pattern that works in EVERY yarn!

Construction
Unlike the original pattern in Fall 2005 Vogue Knitting, this pattern allows you to use ANY yarn you want, and make ANY size you want!

The piece is worked from the center out, divided into 8 equal sections with markers.

Armholes are placed by working all stitches in the first and fourth sections of the circle in waste yarn. The stitch pattern is resumed until the total diameter of the piece is achieved, then sleeves are worked later when waste yarn is removed.

This garment can be worn as a longer jacket with a narrow collar, or as a short shrug with a wider collar.

The Details
To Fit ANY Bust Size

Finished Garment Measures:
This pattern is not sized in a traditional, standard way, but you determine the sizing based on two simple measurements; the cross-front measurement (from armhole seam to armhole seam in when wearing a fitted T-shirt, just above the breasts) and the fingertip to fingertip measurement.

Because of the individualized nature of this pattern, and because any weight of yarn can be used when making this garment, determining yarn yardages can be difficult. Use the amounts below as a guideline, but if this is the first time you are making the garment purchase extra yarn to be safe.

Yarn Requirements
32 (40, 48)” bust estimates
Amounts are based on worsted weight yarn. You may use any weight yarn to make this garment, but the yardages will change (more yardage is required for a thin yarn, less for bulky yarn.)
Yarn A: 1040 (1300, 1560) yds
Yarn B: 400 (500, 600) yds
Yarn C: 280 (350, 420) yds

Notions: Darning needle, stitch marker, 24″ circular needles (2) and dpn’s (optional) in a size that works well with your yarn.
