The stitch is not difficult, you can easily memorise it, but you must pay attention and the construction requires concentration. Most steps are detailed in writing, however some parts are only on the charts. The pattern includes written tutorials and links to video tutorials for particular techniques, and a checklist to help you keep track of your progress.
Construction
The Amber sweater is worked in circular knitting from bottom to top. You will start by working the bottom of the body and sleeves separately until you reach the underarms, and then you’ll join the pieces to work the top of the body in circular knitting with raglan shaping. The last rows are worked flat, going back and forth on the wrong side and right side of the work, and casting off stitches to shape the neckline. Lastly, you will pick up stitches along the neckline to work the collar in 1x1 rib stitch with the 3.5 mm needles. The collar is closed on an open row of stitches.
Techniques
Cast on - knit and purl - yarn over - increases - decreases - Magic Loop - bind off - picking up stitches - seam
Shape and sizes
Sizes XS/S (S/M - M/L - L/XL - XL/2XL) are suited for a 78/85 (85/95 - 95/105 - 105/115 - 115/125) cm bust circumference. To choose your size, make sure to measure your bust size, and choose the version depending on the fitting you prefer: tight or loose (for a tight fit, you can choose a size with a negative ease, and a smaller circumference than your actual bust size).
There are two length options for this pattern: the shorter version stops more or less under the waist, and the classic version goes down to the hips. To choose the length that suits you best, take the measurement starting at the neck and shoulder juncture, and going down. There are also two length options for the sleeves: the three-quarter version stops at the middle of the forearm, and the mid-length stops at the wrists.
