Conus has a casual summery style to take you from the farmers' market to Shakespeare in the Park. It has a fun method of construction, too. The two sleeves are knit flat from cuff to center back. They are joined at the back using a 3-needle bind-off, then stiches are picked up at the bottom for the lower ribbing. Finally, stitches are picked up and worked in ribbing for the collar and front bands. The finished chest measurements are 36 (40, 44, 48) [52, 56, 60] {64, 68, 72}" with finished lengths of 16 (16, 16.5, 16.5) [17.25, 17.25, 17.75] {17.75, 18.5, 18.5}". The Berroco Design Team recommends a fit with 2-4" of positive ease. This sweater can be hand washed in cold water and dried flat. Berroco has rated this design as requiring intermediate-level skills.

Bozzolo is a worsted weight 100% cotton yarn in summery colors. The color sequence is long so each skein goes through the sequence just once. This creates color blending with wide bands of color rather than small stripes. It is knit at 5 stitches per inch in this project.

The kit includes the pattern downloaded from Ravelry and the yarn. You will also need:

• 32" circular needle in US size 7 (OR SIZE NEEDED TO OBTAIN GAUGE)
If you changed needle size above to get gauge, adjust needle size below
• 32" circular needle in US size 4
• spare knitting needle in US size 7 for 3-needle bind-off
• double pointed needles size 6
