Sweater Pattern For Teh Friediness:

[mightyjesse]

So I have all this pretty Corridale string made up for weaving, but I can't do that on the bus... I can't be bored on the bus, and this grey string is so pretty thus I have labored hard over my spreadsheets to generate this:

Man-Sized Sweater

1. Cast on 72 sts, and k3,p3 in the round for 6 rows, increasing by 1 at the collar back every other row. Ending with 75 sts.
   
2. Place markers at 29 sts (back), 9 sts (sleeve), 28 sts (front), and 9 sts (sleeve).
   
3. Starting at 2 sts in from one side of the front panel, knit around until you reach 2sts in on the other side of the front panel, then turn and go back.
   
4. Increase on every other row on each side of every marker.
   
5. On every increase row, when you are at the front, pick up a st from the collar for 4 repeats.
   continue to knit the collar all the way across on the 5th pass of increases and start edges of cabling.
   
• Completed front is 17 sts, then 2p, 12k, 2p wide cable, 34 sts, then 2p, 12k, 2p wide cable, and 17 sts. Completed back is 17 sts, then 2p, 12k, 2p wide cable, 35 sts, then 2p, 12k, 2p wide cable, and 17 sts
  
• Cables are 4 columns of 3 sts, cabled every 3rd row with 2p border on either side.
6. Continue increasing on either side of each marker for 30 more rows until the sleeves contain 81 sts and front contains 100 sts.
   
7. Join sleeves at 81 sts each and front and back pieces for 200 sts.
   
8. Knit each sleeve in the round, decreasing by 2 sts ever 6th row.
   
9. When sleeve is down to 45 sts total, decrease every other sts so that 45 sts becomes 30 sts in one row to form the cuff. (Every 3 sts becomes 2 sts). k2, p2 for 12 rows to form the cuff and cast off.
   knit the body all the way down until it’s as long as desired.
   
10. Decrease every 9th stitch in a row so that 200 sts becomes 180 for the waistband.
    
11. K3, p3 for 12 rows to create the waistband then cast off.

The pattern is very sketchy but enough that I know what I'm talking about and can go back and refer to it later. If you actually want to try knitting something based on this pattern, I'm using size 10 needles and getting 4 sts per inch wide by 5 sts per inch long. I use size 8 needles for waistband, collar and cuffs. If you're crazy enough to have at this pattern just cause, let me know, and I'll try to flesh it out for you to make it intelligiable to people other than me. I will provide progress pictures if they are requested.
