The rustic wool yarn bespeaks his Hobbit closeness to the earth, and the cables remind him of the wandering and winding pathways he loves to explore. It’s a dangerous business, going out his front door, but at least he won’t have to worry about the danger of being too cold in his favorite comfortable sweater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eConstruction Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe body of the sweater begins in the round from the bottom up. After binding-off the underarm stitches, the front and back are worked flat separately with armhole shaping for the sleeves, collar shaping on the front, and short-row shaping for the back neck. The front and back are joined at the shoulders with a three-needle bind-off, and stitches are picked up around the neck opening to work an optional rolled collar. Stitches are then picked up around the armhole to work the set-in sleeves. The sleeve caps are shaped working back and forth in short-rows. Once a sleeve cap is complete, the rest of the sleeve is worked in the round with decreases spaced evenly down to the wrist, before finishing with a ribbed cuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u2028\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1, 2, 3 (4, 5, 6)\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e7, 8, 9\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFinished Measurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u2028\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSee pattern photos for schematic and sizing chart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRecommended Ease\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u20282-4in (5-10cm) positive ease at bust\/chest\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGauge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u2028\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e16 sts x 24 rows = 4in (10cm) in stockinette worked in the round after blocking\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e20 sts x 26 rows = 4in (10cm) in cabled pattern worked flat after blocking\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYarn Requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u2028\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSample used\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHudson and West Co.
