Doodles Short Sleeve Kit

Doodles shown here on model with 33” chest and 5’ 5” tall Note from Yumiko Alexander: while I was designing this pattern, I had so much fun playing with textures using basic techniques - knit, purl, slip stitches, and eyelets. To make this unique texture without being complicated, some sections are worked with one strand of yarn, and other sections are worked with two strands of yarn held together. This produces a fabric where some sections are light, delicate, and see-through, and other sections are textured and a bit thicker. Slip stitches make wavy, horizonal lines without using short rows. Instructions include the following adjustments / options: Sleeve opening depth adjustments Sleeves length adjustments Kimono/straight sleeves instead of gathered cuffs Sleeveless option SIZES AND FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: Chest: 45 (49, 53, 57)“/112.5 (122.5, 132.5, 142.5)cm Length (laid flat): Choice of 19 ½”, 22” or 24 ¾“ /48.5cm, 55cm or 62cm GAUGE: 16 stitches and 21 rows = 4”/10cm in Stockinette stitch with two strands of yarn held together (blocked) Doodles PDF Silk+, shown in Vanilla: 19 ½“ long: 5 (5, 6, 6) skeins 22” long: 5 (6, 6, 7) skeins 24 ¾” long: 6 (6, 7, 7) skeins   Length Size (chest circumference) 45" 49" 53" 57" 19½” 5 skeins 5 skeins 6 skeins 6 skeins 22” 5 skeins 6 skeins 6 skeins 7 skeins 24¾” 6 skeins 6 skeins 7 skeins 7 skeins The skein amount listed above are for the short sleeve version.
