Pattern

Safire is constructed from the top down, all in one piece, with a raglan yoke.

With US 7 (4.5mm) needles, CO 50 (60, 76, 94, 114, 134, 148, 158) sts.

Purl 1 row, placing stitch markers at the following points:

- After 2 (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14) sts to mark the right front,

- after another 8 (10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 26, 26) sts to mark the right sleeve,

- after another 30 (36, 44, 50, 58, 66, 72, 78) sts to mark the back,

- and after another 8 (10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 26, 26) sts to mark the left sleeve.

The remaining 2 (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14) sts are the left front.

Raglan increase row (RS): [K to 1 st before marker, m1L, k1, sm, k1, m1R] 4 times; k to end.

Total sts: 58 (68, 84, 102, 122, 142, 156, 166). (8 sts increased)

P 1 row.

Repeat the last 2 rows 21 (23, 24, 26, 27, 29, 31, 33) times more. But please read the

below first!! You will need to follow two sets of shaping instructions at the same

time.

For all sizes, the following increase row will be worked at the front edges of the

cardigan on the RS in order to shape the fronts to close just below the bust:

K1, m1L, work (including raglan increases if necessary) to last st of row , m1R, k1.

However, the increasing will begin at different points depending on size:

•For sizes L-4XL, begin the front increases on raglan increase number - (-, -,

27, 27, 28, 30, 31) and repeat on every RS row - (-, -, 20, 22, 24, 25, 26)

times more.

•For sizes XS-M, begin the front increases on row 3 (1, 1, -, -, -, -, -) after the

raglan increases are complete and repeat on every RS row 14 (17, 19, -, -, -,

-, -) times more.

Total sts after raglan shaping is complete (including sts increased on fronts): 226 (252, 276,

312, 342, 380, 410, 438)

Body

On the next RS row (and either starting or continuing the front increases depending on the

size being made), and removing st markers as you come to them, k to first marker,

place the 52 (58, 62, 70, 76, 84, 90, 94) sts between the markers on scrap yarn, pm, k

to next st marker, place the next 52 (58, 62, 70, 76, 84, 90, 94) sts between the

markers on scrap yarn, pm, and k to end.

You should have 24 (27, 30, 35, 39, 44, 48, 53) sts for each front and 74 (84, 94, 104, 114,

126, 136, 146) sts for each back, for a total of 122 (138, 154, 174, 192, 214, 232, 252)

sts on the needles.

Continue in St st until front increases (worked each RS row) have been completed. P 1 row.

Total body sts: 152 (172, 192, 212, 232, 256, 276, 296) [39 (44, 49, 54, 59, 65, 70, 75) for

each front and 74 (84, 94, 104, 114, 126, 136, 146) for the back].

Switch to US 6 (4mm) needles.

Next row (RS): Starting with k2, work in 2x2 rib until the last 2 sts and create a buttonhole

thusly: yo, p2tog.

Next row (WS): K1, k1 tbl, continue in 2x2 rib.

You will create a buttonhole in this manner every 4 rows (making sure to knit the yo tbl on

the row following the buttonhole) for the entire ribbed portion of the sweater.

Ribbing and Decreases

In the next section, you will make decreases on either side of the sweater (i.e. where the

stitch markers are, marking where the fronts meet the back), then decrease again every 4

rows 3 times for all sizes. Because each size has a different stitch count based on finished

size, the stitch markers fall different places in the 2x2 ribbing pattern, thus require

different types of decreasing. Details of each “type” are below, as well as instructions on

which to use for each size. While working the 3 rows in between the decrease rows, knit

the knit sts and purl the purl sts as you come to them, even if the 2x2 rib pattern has been

broken by the decreases.

Type 1 - stitch marker is between 2 purl sts

Decrease Row 1: Work to 3 sts before stitch marker, ssk, p1, sm, p1, k2tog

Decrease Row 2: Work to 4 sts before marker, p2tog, k1, p1, sm, p1, k1, p2tog

Decrease Row 3: Work to 5 sts before marker, ssk, p1, k1, p1, sm, p1, k1, p1, k2tog

Decrease Row 4: Work to 4 sts before marker, ssk, k1, p1, sm, p1, k1, k2tog

Type 2 - stitch marker is between 2 knit sts

Decrease Row 1: Work to 4 sts before marker, ssk, p1, k1, sm, k1, p1, k2tog

Decrease Row 2: Work to 3 sts before marker, ssk, k1, sm, k1, k2tog

Decrease Row 3: Work to 3 sts before marker, ssk, k1, sm, k1, k2tog

Decrease Row 4: Work to 2 sts before marker, ssk, sm, k2tog

Type 3 - stitch marker is between a knit st and a purl st

Decrease Row 1: Work to 6 sts before marker, ssk, p2, k2, sm, p2, k2, p2tog

Decrease Row 2: Work to 5 sts before marker, ssk, p1, k2, sm, p2, k2, p1, k2tog

Decrease Row 3: Work to 4 sts before marker, ssk, k2, sm, p2, k2, k2tog

Decrease Row 4: Work to 3 sts before marker, ssk, k1, sm, p2, k1, k2tog

Type 4 - stitch marker is between a purl st and a knit st

Decrease Row 1: Work to 6 sts before marker, p2tog, k2, p2, sm, k2, p1, k2tog

Decrease Row 2: Work to 7 sts before marker, ssk, p1, k2, p2, sm, k2, p1, k2tog

Decrease Row 3: Work to 6 sts before marker, ssk, k2, p2, sm, k2, k2tog

Decrease Row 4: Work to 5 sts before marker, ssk, k1, p2, sm, k1, k2tog

Decrease row (RS): Work in 2x2 rib, work decrease type 1 (4, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1), continue in

2x2 rib as set across the back, work decrease type 2 (4, 1, 3, 2, 1, 3, 2), then continue in

2x2 rib as set to end. (Remember to create a buttonhole every 4 rows). 4 sts decreased.

Work 3 rows as set.

Repeat the last 4 rows 3 times more, then continue in 2x2 rib until ribbing measures 3.75”

or desired length, ending with a WS row.

Total sts: 136 (156, 176, 196, 216, 240, 260, 280)

Bind off all sts in 2x2 rib.

Sleeves (make 2)

Place 52 (58, 62, 70, 76, 84, 90, 94) sts on hold for sleeve onto US 7 (4.5mm) circular needle

or dpns.

Work across all sts and pick up 2 sts from the body at the very end. Pm to mark beginning of

round. Total sts: 54 (60, 64, 72, 78, 86, 92, 96)

Dec round: K2tog, k to last 3 sts, ssk, k1 (2 sts decreased).

K 4 (5, 5, 5, 4, 4, 5, 5) rounds.

Repeat the last 5 (6, 6, 6, 5, 5, 6, 6) rounds 6 (5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 5, 5) times more. Total sts: 40

(48, 52, 60, 64, 72, 80, 84)

Work even (if needed) until sleeve measures 4.75 (5, 5, 5.25, 5.25, 5.25, 5.25, 5.5)” from

armsceye.

Switch to US 6 (4mm) needles and work in 2x2 rib until sleeve measures 9.5 (10, 10, 10.5,

10.5, 10.5, 10.5, 11)”. Bind off all sts.

Collar

Starting at the right front edge, just above where the ribbing starts, with US 6 (4mm)

needles, pick up sts all the way around to the same point on the left side (I picked up

about 4 sts per 5 rows). The exact number of sts is not terribly important, but should

be a multiple of 4 PLUS 2. Estimates: 174 (198, 222, 246, 274, 302, 326, 342) sts.

Row 1 (WS): Starting with p2 (so on the RS you will have 2 knit sts at the beginning and end

of the collar), work in 2x2 rib until 10 sts before the end of the row, w&t.

Row 2 (RS): Work until 10 sts before end of row, w&t.

Next row: Work until 10 sts before last wrapped st, w&t.

Repeat the last row 7 (7, 7, 7, 9, 9, 9, 9) times more. You should end with a RS row.

(WS) After having wrapped and turned for the last time, work all the way to the end of the

row, picking up wraps as you come to them.

(RS) Work 1 row, picking up remaining wraps as you come to them.

Bind off all sts in 2x2 rib.
