Knitting Intarsia This pattern is knit by the intarsia method. Unlike Fair Isle or Jacquard knits, whose repeating color changes require strands of yarn to be carried across the wrong side of the sweater, in intarsia the blocks of color are worked with separate balls or bobbins of yarn, producing a sweater only one layer thick.
If you are knitting intarsia for the first time, we suggest that you visit our website, www.sweaterscapes.com, where you will find complete illustrated instructions.
Sweater Front Using Green Heather yarn and size 8 needle, cast on 82(90,94) stitches. Change to size 6 needles, and rib in K2, P2 pattern for 2 inches. Increase 2(0,2) stitches after rib.
Change to size 8 needles and follow sweater chart for the front.
Knit stitches on chart: small 7-90 medium 4-93 large 1-96
Knit rows on chart: small 13-152 medium 7-156 large 1-160
Begin neck shaping on row 129. We recommend using short-row wrapping for the neck opening. It eliminates the seam between sweater and neck rib and produces a neck opening with the proper stretch. Illustrated instructions can be viewed at www.sweaterscapes.com.
Sweater Back Using Green Heather yarn and size 8 needle, cast on 82(90,94) stitches. Change to size 6 needles, and rib in K2, P2 pattern for 2 inches. Increase 2(0,2) stitches after rib.
Change to size 8 needles and follow sweater chart for the back.
Knit stitches on chart: small 7-90 medium 4-93 large 1-96 Knit rows on chart: small 13-152 medium 7-156 large 1-160
Finishing Weave in the ends from the intarsia knitting.
Block sweater pieces before assembling and knitting the neck rib. All you need is a wet, lightweight cotton dishtowel (it should be neither dripping nor wrung out to the point that it’s almost dry), a hard surface with a bath towel laid out flat on it, and a steam iron set to “wool”. Lay the knitting piece on the towel, cover it with the wet dishtowel, and press it lightly with the iron. Voilá – it’s blocked. If you have been careful about testing your gauge, you should not have to pin, stretch, or reshape the sweater in order to fit the desired measurement .
The Neck Rib Work neck using Blue Heather yarn.
If your shoulder stitches are still on needles, bind off the front and back stitches together at the right shoulder. Otherwise, sew the right sweater shoulder.
If traditional bind-off method was used for neck shaping - pick up 82(90,98) stitches around the neck opening.
If short-row wrapping was used for neck shaping - with sweater front facing you, pick up 11(13,15) stitches at right front edge. Knit front neck stitches on the needle from short-row wrapping, hiding
