everything! Designed with reverse Stockinette stitch
"seaming" to accentuate the waist shaping. Garter stitch

GAUGE

™

8 stitches = 3” and approx. 17 rows = 4” in St st on size 11 (8mm) needles.

PLEASE TAKE TIME TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE

NOTES:

1) "rev St st" is the same as the Stockinette stitch, but the purl side is used as the

"Right Side" of the sweater, and the knit side is used as the "Wrong Side" of the
sweater.

2) "k-inc" – To increase into a knit stitch, knit the front of the stitch (as you normally

do), but before you let the stitch slip off of your left needle, knit into the back of that

same stitch. Now, allow the stitch to slip off of the left needle. This is also called
"knitting into the front and back of a stitch" to do an increase.

3) "p-inc" – Same as the k-inc, except that to purl into the back of the same stitch (for

the increase part), you will need to stick your needle in from left to right in the back.

4) "m1" – To increase by making 1, pick up the strand lying between the stitch just

knit and the next stitch (on your left needle) with your left needle tip from front to
back. Now, knit that picked up strand using the back side of the strand, as if to knit

the back of a stitch (this will twist the strand to prevent a hole).

5) The Garter st front button bands and shawl collar are "knit-in", i.e. they are

created while knitting the left front and right front pieces by knitting the specified
stitches in Garter st and increasing along the neck edge to create the shawl collar

shape.

6) "co at the end" – To cast on stitches at the end of a row, use the single strand cast

on by looping the yarn around your thumb and slipping it onto your right needle,
thereby adding the extra stitches (a GREAT image of this technique can be found at:
http://www.dnt-inc.com/barhtmls/knit/sco.html).
