Some things to think about

Here are some things to think about:

• CAST ON - The silhouette of this sweater is a big circle, knit from the center out. How would you start off the sweater? How would you cast on to make the neatest center point of the circle?
  


• COLOR MANAGEMENT - The pattern stitch is a combination of garter stitch and stockinette stitch both knitted in the round. The twisted floats are on the wrong side of the stockinette stitch. Here is a general summary of the twisted float stitch pattern:
  
  TWISTED FLOAT
  1: A – purl
  2: A – k with increases
  
  3: A – purl
  4: A – k with increases
  
  5: A – purl
  6: A – k with increases
  
  7: A – purl
  8: A – k with increases
  
  9: A – knit
  
  10: A, B – k1A, k1B twisting OVER
  11: A – k with increases
  12: A, B – k1A, k1B twisting UNDER
  13: A – k with increases
  
  14: A, B – k1A, k1B twisting OVER
  15: A – k with increases
  16: A, B – k1A, k1B twisting UNDER
  17: A – k wih increases
  
  As you can see, the garter sections use only color A and the twisted float/stockinette sections use both color A and B. How would you handle both colors? Would you carry B from Row 1 over to Row 10 or would you carry it from row to row? Would you break off the yarn every color change?
  

• JOG - Also, 2 kinds of jogs will happen, the color change jog and the garter stitch to stockinette stitch jog. What would you do?

• INCREASES - What kind of increase would you use to build the circle? Invisible, kfb or m1? Remember, the wrong side is the public side.
