(10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. Making a Gauge Swatch STITCH EXPLANATION: M1 (make 1) An increase worked by lifting the horizontal strand lying between needles and placing it onto the left needle. Knit this new stitch through the back loop 1 st increased. kfb (knit in front and back) Knit next st without removing it from left needle, then k through back of same st 1 st increased. sk2p Slip 1 as if to knit, knit 2 together, pass slipped stitch over 2 sts decreased. ssk (slip, slip, knit) Slip next 2 sts as if to knit, one at a time, to right needle; insert left
needle into fronts of these 2 sts and knit them tog 1 st decreased. PATTERN STITCH K1, p1 Rib (worked over an even number of sts) Row 1: *K1, p1; rep from * to end of row. Row 2: K the knit sts and p the purl sts. Rep Row 2 for K1, p1 Rib. STRIPE SEQUENCE FOR LEFT HALF Work 2 rows with C, 8 rows with A, 2 rows with C, 8 rows with B. Rep these 20 rows for Stripe Sequence for Left Half. STRIPE SEQUENCE FOR RIGHT HALF Work 2 rows with C, 8 rows with B, 2 rows with C, 8 rows with A. Rep these 20 rows for Stripe Sequence for Right Half. NOTES: 1. Pullover is made in 4 pieces: Left and Right Halves and 2 Sleeves. 2. Each Half starts at lower front edge and is worked up and over shoulder then down to lower back edge. Increases are made on one edge for side shaping the unshaped side is the center edge. 3. Both Halves start with a ribbed lower edge then are worked in St st (k on RS, p on WS) changing yarn color to make stripes. 4. Sleeves start with a ribbed edge then are worked in St st with a different stripe on each Sleeve. 5. The designer left the edges of the ribbed lower front edge unsewn, but seamed the edges of back rib. This is a witty design detail! But feel free to make the edges on your Pullover match by seaming both edges or by leaving both unsewn. 6. Neckband is worked from sts picked up around the neck edge of the Pullover.
