Cozy up in the Mick sweater. It definitely is a feel good top!
Itβs also a quick and easy knit, I rate it at an advanced beginner level. Knit yours in one or up to three colors as shown in my sample in the round and flat in knit, purl and slipped stitches with a crew neckline.
The pattern is fully written for sizes 34/36/38β, 40/42/44β, 46/48/50β with a build in positive ease ranging from 25β for smallest, 23β for middle and 21β for the largest size in each grouping.
Yarn
Bulky cake, 108 yards/100 grams per cake in a #5 weight in a super soft Acrylic yarn, which is washable on gentle cycle with warm
water. Love that!
C1 - 2 skeins for 34 to 38β size. 3 skeins for sizes 40 to 50β for bottom ribbing and sleeves.
C2 - 2 skeins for 34 to 38β sizes. 3 skeins for sizes 40 to 50β for lower body and neckline.
C3 - 2 skeins for 34 to 38β sizes. 3 skeins for sizes 40 to 50β for top of body.
Notions needed
Two US size 15 (10 mm) circular needles.
Or needle size you reach gauge with!
One 16β (42 cm) long, the other 36β (81 cm) in lengths.
Scrap yarn or interchangeable cord to place stitches on hold.
4 Stitch markers, one being different to mark beginning of rounds.
Tapestry needle or crochet hook.
Gauge
8 sts and 11 rows in 4β of stockinette stitch. TEST KNITTERS used needle sizes ranging from US size 13/15 to 17 to get gauge. So making a swatch is a must to get the right fit for you.
Techniques applied
Knitting and purling in the round, slipping stitches, color changes, increasing, placing stitches on hold and picking them up later,
binding oο¬, weaving in ends and shoulder seaming. Blocking is optional. My sample was left unblocked.
Enjoy the knit!
