Minimum 10% stretch is recommended for comfortable range of arm movement. Knits with a large amount of stretch and ribbed knits can make this project a more challenging sew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour block design idea: Use a contrast knit texture or colour for the yokes and hood or collar linings. Choose a knit that is similar in weight to the main fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptional ribbing: The cuffs and hem band can be sewn with the main material or a coordinating 1x1 ribbing. It may be necessary to choose a thinner ribbing to reduce bulk if the main material is quite thick. Cuffs are included in the fabric requirement chart. If opting for a contrast ribbing, purchase same amount of main fabric and 0.4 m (0.4 yd) of 24\" (63.5 cm) or wider ribbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFabric requirements: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContrast sweater with collar: 115 cm (45\") wide fabric (sizes XS-M only): Main fabric, 2.1 m (2.3 yd) \/ Contrast, 0.8 m (0.9 yd) \/\/ 150 cm (60\") wide fabric: Main fabric, 1.8 m (2 yd) \/ Contrast, 0.8 m (0.9 yd).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContrast sweater with hood: 115 cm (45\") wide fabric (sizes XS-M only): Main fabric, 2.1 m (2.3 yd) \/ Contrast, 1.1 m (1.2 yd) \/\/ 150 cm (60\") wide fabric: Main fabric, 1.8 m (2 yd) \/ Contrast, 1.1 m (1.2 yd).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle colour sweater with collar: 115 cm (45\") wide fabric (sizes XS-M only): 2.8 m (3.1 yd) \/\/ 150 cm (60\") wide fabric: 2.6 m (2.8 yd).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle colour sweater with hood: 115 cm (45\") wide fabric (sizes XS-M only): 3 m (3.3 yd) \/\/ 150 cm (60\") wide fabric: 2.6 m (2.8 yd).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e XS - 4XL.
