DAISY Sweater yarn kit TRICOTE magazine number 2

The pattern can be found in TRICOTE magazine issue 2 and will be available in a few months on my online shop and Ravelry.

The DAISY Sweater stands out with its lace stitch and oversized look. It is knitted back and forth from the top down and is seamless, worked in the round from the armholes.

The kit contains the colors of your choice in the quantities required for each size, using the Chandails et Cardigans yarns needed to achieve the look of the sweater in photo 1, with 1 FINGERING and 1 LACE yarn held together. 

Other option: 1 DK yarn.

• Sizes:  1 2 3 (4 5 6 7) [8 9 10 11] (12 13 14 15)
• Finished garment bust: 85 94 101 (108 115 122 130) [137 144 152 159] (166 174 181 188) cm. (For size D and larger, add 12 cm; 5 cm will be added to the front to make it approximately 17 cm—for sizes A to C, add 15–25 cm to your bust measurement and choose the size closest to the desired result or your preference)
• Ease: designed with 12–25 cm of positive ease.

It is recommended to add an extra skein if you are tall and want more than 20 cm of ease or folded neck and cuffs.

• Gauge: 22 sts x 32 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm of lace stitch with 4 mm needles (Fingering and lace) using 2 yarns together
• Options: additional ease options on the front for sizes D and larger, standard or folded cuffs, plain, double, or turtleneck neck (inner or outer), standard 1x1 ribbing instead of the semi-full-fashioned 1x1.
