Sanderson Sweater:
This amazing new oversized sweater is knit bottom up in the round with a split hem, turtleneck, and a slightly cropped fit. This is the absolute perfect garment for Fall. While holding the lace mohair together with the tweed DK, you create the absolute definition of cozy!
Details :
(Smaller needle) Body: US size 6 / 4 mm circular needles between 16 and 40” / 40 and 100 cm to be worked in the round. Sleeves: 9” / 23 cm circular needle, DPNs or preferred method of small circumference knitting.
(Larger needle) Body: US size 8 / 5 mm circular needles between 16 and 40” / 40 and 100 cm to be worked in the round. Sleeves: 9” / 23 cm circular needle, DPNs or preferred method of small circumference knitting.
(Since the collar can be worked with a 16”/40 cm circular, as the knitting grows, you may want to transition from 40”/100, to 32”/80 cm, then 16”/40 circular needle to be worked in the round.)

Yarn Used :
MC: Dragon Hoard Yarn Gnome Tweed DK in Feather colorway: 230 yards/210 meters per 100 grams
CC: Dragon Hoard Yarn Pegasus Lace Mohair in Autumn Aurai colorway: 459 yards per 50 grams.
Notions :
Stitch markers (1 unique for BOR, 3 to mark the raglans when joined for the raglan decreases, and more if wanting to mark the end of each chart repeat); scissors; row counter (suggested); darning needle to weave in ends; waste yarn or stitch holders to hold your sleeve stitches.
Notes :
This raglan-style sweater is knit bottom up, using circular needles knit flat for the split hem, then worked in the round for the remainder of the body and the yoke. The sleeves are knit first, put on holders, then joined to the garment to work the raglan shaping after the body is knit.
The MC and CC yarns are held double throughout the garment.
I recommend, before starting this knit, you take out a sweater that you enjoy the fit of, and measure across the front of it from underarm to underarm to determine the size (multiply the measurement by 2 to get the full circumference of your sweater). I would then take a look at the finished garment measurements and determine what size you would like to knit.
