Shawl Collar Cardigan
Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Chunky
GAUGE: 13.5 sts and 16 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STITCH EXPLANATION: M1 (make 1) An increase worked by lifting the horizontal thread lying between the needles and placing it onto the left needle. Work this new stitch through the back loop.
ssk (slip, slip, knit) Slip the next 2 sts as if to knit, one at a time, to the right needle; insert the left needle into the fronts of these 2 sts and k them tog. |

| Shawl Collar Cardigan Reviewed by c mitchell on 2008-06-29 |
 |
I made this quite some time back but don't recall any pattern issues save for the decs being reversed (notified lionbrand and they agreed). I used a different weight yarn than the pattern called for so ended up reworking the entire pattern to achieve new numbers.
I didn't like working the front bands along with the front pieces as I'd have preferred more tension which comes with a smaller st sz (working them together made the band edges elongate). I worked the lower edge ribbing by P'ing the WS so the draw was minimal. I opted for short rows for the shoulder shaping and 3-ndl BO.
The sleeves came out a tad short but given the sweater was already assembled I just cut off the ribbing and rebuilt the sleeves back down, adding more length and cuffs. I also made the sweater a bit longer and added a tie belt (w/loops in the side seams). I was extremely pleased with how it seamed together, esp the sleeve cap/armscye.
The FO fit fabulously. As much as I loved the sweater I didn't care for the color on me so gifted it to a friend. I intend on making this sweater again and have a friend who plans to make it, as well.
**********
Jan '09. I just made another one of these, but used a yarn that gave me pattern gauge (unlike the previous version). I opted to omit the side seams thereby working the entire body in one piece. Finished in six days and the person who requested I make this for them described it as 'perfect!'
