It is very important to check your gauge and measure the tension correctly to achieve the same results and measurements as the pattern.
If the gauge is different, try adjusting the needle size up or down by half a size until you get the correct measurement.

Procedure
DETAILED PATTERN INSTRUCTIONS
BACK
Using 4 mm needles and Teddy yarn, cast on 60 sts and work 6 r in 1x1 rib for the band. Continue working in stockinette stitch for 56 r. Then,
begin the jacquard section using both Teddy and Silky Wool yarns, following diagram 1 for 16 r and repeating the 30-st motif twice across the r.
While working the jacquard pattern, begin shaping the sides by increasing 1 st every 4 r, 4 times, as indicated in the diagram. From r 17 to 66
(50 r total), continue working using Silky Wool only on the resulting 68 sts. Beginning on r 67, start shaping the shoulders by binding off sts on
both sides of the panel every 2 r as follows: first 4 sts, then 5 sts, again 4 sts and finally 5 sts, twice. At the same time, on r 69, bind off the
central 14 sts for the neckline and continue working each part separately, binding off 1 st at the neck side every 2 r, twice.
FRONT
Work as given for the back, except for the neckline. On r 61 after completing the 16-row jacquard pattern, begin shaping the neckline by
binding off the central 10 sts and continuing each side separately. Then, at each neckline edge, bind off: 2 sts every 2 r, twice and 1 st every 2
r, twice. At the same time, starting from r 67, shape the shoulders as given for the back shoulders.
SLEEVES
Using 4 mm needles and Silky Wool yarn, work 11 r in 1x1 rib. Continue working in stockinette stitch following diagram 2, increasing 1 st at
each edge every 4 r, 3 times, to reach 48 sts. At the same time, starting from r 7, begin the jacquard pattern by alternating Silky Wool and
Teddy yarns as indicated in the diagram. From r 23 to 48, continue working on the same st count using only Teddy yarn.
From r 49 to 74, work following diagram 3 to create the second jacquard motif, increasing 1 st at each edge every 4 r, 5 times. After completing
r 74, bind off all 58 sts. Make the second sleeve as given for the first one.
ASSEMBLY AND FINISHING
Sew all seams on the WS.
Sew one shoulder seam.
Neck: using 4 mm needles, pick up evenly 42 sts along the front neckline and 32 sts along the back neckline. 74 sts total. Work 38 r in 1x1 rib,
then bind off all sts.
Sew the second shoulder and join the neckband seam along one side.
Pin the upper edge of one sleeve along the center section of the armhole edge (joining front and back panels), matching the center of the
sleeve with the shoulder seam. Sew the sleeve in place. Repeat the same for the second sleeve on the opposite side. Finally, sew the side
seams and underarms.
Weave in all ends. Wet and block.
INSTRUCTIONS
The garment has a relaxed fit, making it suitable for multiple sizes. The sweater is made up of 2 identical panels (front and back), sleeves, and
a turtleneck collar. The body and sleeves feature jacquard motifs worked with both yarns. When making M1 increases on both sides of a row,
work 1 increase after the first st and 1 increase before the last st. To keep track of the number of r worked with Teddy yarn sections, it is
recommended to place a stitch marker (SM) at the beginning of each row.
