Pre-Jiniting Preparations

Take Measurements

Accurate measurements are key to achieve the Kindling & Tinder fit. If you are making the sweater for yourself, have someone help you take the measurements to ensure the correct fit for your body. To determine chest size, take wearer's measurement shirtless or with a closefitting undershirt. To determine the appropriate length, take wearer's measurement from under armpit to lower hip (approximately 4 inches below the natural waist). To achieve the fit as pictured, this is the measurement between the top of the ribbing and armpit bind off. For instance: ifthe wearer's armpit-to-hip measurement is $\bar{\mathrm{I}}6\,\,^{1}\!/\!_{2}$ inches, the sweater will need to be 20 inches long from the bottom of the sweater to the armpit bind off. To determine the armscye (armhole circumference), place measuring tape at the top of the shoulder and run tape under armpit and over clavicle to the top of the shoulder. A few caveats: 1) Stand up straight with good posture, but keep shoulder and arm relaxed. 2) Pull measuring tape tightly. Ifthis procedure is mildly uncomfortable, you're probably doing it correctly. To determine arm length, measure the inside of the arm from the armpit to the wrist and add 2 inches.

Prepare Yarn

Using ball winder, wind yarn into manageable 4-ply balls as follows: Wind one ply from cone on to ball winder. Stop when ball is about 2 inches thick. Remove ball from winder and place level with cone. Take one ply from the cone and one from the ball and rewind the ball. Remove ball from winder again and place level with cone. Take one ply from the cone and two plies from the ball and wind again. Take one ply from the cone and three plies from the ball and wind again. Yarn is ready to knit.

Finishing

Weave in all ends for all joins in body and sleeves.

Wet Blocking

Wash all pieces gently in mild detergent, Do not wring or agitate. Squeeze out excess water, then roll in towels to remove remaining water. Block on flat surface to finished measurements and let dry completely.

Shoulder Seams

Sew front and back pieces together at shoulder.

Set-in Sleeves

Pin the center ofthe sleeve cap to the shoulder seam. Pin the corresponding bound-off armscye Stitches to bound-off stitches at sleeve cap edge. Continue pinning armscye and sleeve-cap edges, adjusting ease as needed. Sew sleeve in place.

Side and Sleeve Seams

Secure edges with safety pins. Begin seams using long tail ends from cast-on rows. Complete seams using mattress stitch method, inserting tapestry needle under the corresponding horizontal bars between Stitches, alternating from side-to-side and pulling yarn tight enough to hide edges. Working from hip edge to armscye and from sleeve edge is recommended.

Turtleneck

including Sts on holders. Work in Ix1 (1k, p1) rib for 6 to 8 inches (or desired length) according to wearer's preference. Bind off using backstitch (or "cast-on, cast-off") technique. Cut yarn approximately four times longer than the circumference of the turtleneck and thread through a tapestry needle. Insert tapestry needle purlwise through first two stitches on knitting needle and pull yarn through. Insert tapestry needle purlwise through first sStitch again. Pull yarn through and drop bound-off Stitch from knitting needle. BO all sts in this fashion. Ensure that bind off tension matches that of live Stitches to maintain flexible edge.

Caring for your sweater

Hand wash in cold water with gentle soap or wool wash. Do not wring or agitate. Squeeze out excess water, then roll in towels to remove remaining water. Lay garment flat to dry out of direct sunlight and shape to original measurements.
