"You are knitting 4 identical panels, sewing the cast off edges together to create the shoulders, then sewing a seam down the middle back and both sides to create the sweater. The blocking is to ensure all the pieces come out to the same size before sewing, the collar/neck is simply folded back at the neck line."

"The pattern calls for a 15mm 19US needle not a 15 US needle which would be a 10 mm as noted here on all free knitting."

"This pattern was in an email for "brand new" patterns, but the yarn has been discontinued for 8-10 years."

"You could follow the directions as written but change the knit 5" to knit 7 to 8" and just not do the fold at the bottom, since typically slouch hats are at least 12" tall, however this yarn is a bulky and the recommended substitute yarn is super bulky on very small needles, so even altering the pattern is probably not going to give you the result you want."
Lisa
"The pattern specifies which yarn to use for each section, so when you see "with yarn b" in the instructions, that is the yarn you will use until you are instructed to change to a different colour. The pattern also specifies which stitches to use line by line for each section. Based on your questions this may be a pattern that you may not be quite ready for since it is an intermediate pattern that you do need to have a decent amount of knitting experience to complete the project."

Lion Brand Sock-Ease Yarn

First and foremost, we can’t talk about a Lion Brand yarn without discussing the basics. And the basics are, as always, pretty compelling: great accessibility (Lion Brand is available everywhere from Wal-Mart to Jo-Ann Fabric to Michaels), reasonable price (one skein of this yarn is enough for a pair of socks and will only set you back $10.49), and consistency. But this Sock-Ease yarn consisting of fingering-weight fiber has more than just the basics going for it, as well. It’s also well made, easy to knit, and softer than its wool/nylon combination might suggest.

 

So what’s it like to knit with this fiber? Well, the aloe finish on the yarn gives it a nice feel that neither chafes your fingers nor gets sticky, as some aloe-finished yarns tend to do. It’s also remarkably consistent, and I only found one or two sections in an entire skein with any width variation. Long story short, you almost don’t even notice the fiber while you’re knitting it, which allows you to focus on the pattern and the pattern alone. So, if you’re in the market for a fingering-weight yarn that’s washable and looks tidy, Lion Brand Sock-Ease yarn is definitely a good choice.
