It is the classic beginner's first sweater, but at a fine 23-stitch tension in a crisp British Romney DK it reads as a considered wardrobe piece rather than a practice project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYarn:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bramble-fleece-wooltrace-dk\"\u003eBramble \u0026amp; Fleece Wooltrace DK\u003c\/a\u003e — 6 (6: 7: 7: 8: 8) x 100g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShade photographed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Frosted Sage 304\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeedles:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.25mm (UK 10 \/ US 3) and 3.75mm (UK 9 \/ US 5) needles, plus a 3.25mm circular needle 40cm long for the neckband\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTension:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23 stitches and 31 rows to 10cm \/ 4in over stocking stitch on 3.75mm needles, once blocked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e XS to XXL, to fit chest 71-76 to 122-127cm (28-30 to 48-50in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlso needed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stitch holders and stitch markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkill level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beginner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Digital PDF download\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich yarn does the Malton Sweater use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMalton is written for Bramble \u0026amp; Fleece Wooltrace DK, a 100% British Romney DK at 225m per 100g hank, traceable to the farm by QR code. Romney is a hardy longwool rather than a soft one, which makes it a sensible choice for a first sweater: it wears hard, holds its shape and shows the stitches clearly while you are learning. Depending on size you will need 6 to 8 hanks — 600g to 800g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a good first sweater?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Drop sleeves remove all armhole shaping, the body and sleeves are plain stocking stitch above a two-by-two rib, and the neckband is worked in the round at the end. You need cast on, knit, purl, rib, shoulder shaping and mattress stitch seams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a digital knitting pattern supplied as a PDF download in English, with UK and US needle sizes and both metric and imperial measurements.
