This sweater is knitted in the round, from the bottom up.
It divides at the armholes and is knitted flat for the front and back, with the shoulders then joined together. The neck at the front is shaped with a few additional shoulder rows, with the neckband picked up and knitted afterwards. Sleeves are picked up from the front and back edges and slowly decreased for a slouchy fit.
Clementine is an excellent beginners sweater due to its simple shape and instructions, and is quick to knit thanks to the chunky yarn and big needles!
Materials:
Sample used Truly Hooked chunky (100% sw merino, 100m per 100g)
OPTIONAL: Truly Hooked suri lace (74% baby suri alpaca, 26% silk, 300m per 50g)
If desired, this is held double with the chunky yarn
10mm and 8mm circular needles - The cable should be long enough to fit around your body PLUS circular needles or DPNs for sleeves
Darning needle
Waste yarn or stitch holders
Stitch marker
Gauge:
10 stitches and 15 rows per 4’’(10 cm) square in stocking stitch when blocked
Sizes:
There is 8’’ of positive ease worked in to the pattern, for a loose and relaxed fit. If you would prefer a closer fit, choose finished bust size nearer to your own bust measurements. (eg. 40’’ actual bust can choose size 5 for a loose fit or size 4 for a closer fit. Size 3 will be a tight fit.)
Actual bust:
24 (28, 32, 36) (40, 44, 48) (52, 56, 60) (64, 68, 72)’’

Finished bust:

Yarn requirements:
These are for a cropped sweater. For a longer body, add an extra 100-200m.
300 (350, 400, 450) (500, 580, 650) (720, 800, 900) (950, 1000, 1050) m
328 (382, 437, 492) (546, 634, 710) (787, 874, 984) (1038, 1093, 1148) yds
If you wish to use a fluffy lace, held double, you will need the same meterage again of this yarn.
Yarn Alternatives:
This sweater works great with most chunky yarns, and lends itself well to thick and thin style handspun, as it has a slightly open gauge for a looser, drapey fabric. You could use part balls of DK held double to get gauge also.
