The sweater is designed to be worn with negative ease, which increases proportionately with size from 9-14cm (3.5-5.5in) for the 1st size to 24-29cm (9.5-11.5in) for the 8th size. This means you should pick a size with a chest circumference smaller than the intended wearer in order for the ribbing to stretch over the body and create an elegant, fitted shape. Information on negative ease is included in the sizing table. If you prefer the sweater to have a slightly more relaxed fit as shown in the photographs, choose a size which has approximately 2.5-5cm (1-2in) negative ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Work in Thick Wool\u003c\/strong\u003e is knitted using [productlink: Bluem Worsted = bluem-worsted :productlink], a worsted or aran weight yarn, worsted spun, with a honey-like softness and a delightful, lustrous finish.

Instructions are provided for both working the sweater in one piece in the round on circular needles, or knitted flat as four separate pieces and then sewn together as shown in the original vintage version. In the flat version the yoke shaping decreases are unusually worked on the wrong side of the work, and to maintain the patterning it is essential that these decreases are worked as specified. \u003c\/strong\u003e :tab1]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[tab2: \u003cstrong\u003eYarn\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[productlink: Susan Crawford Bluem Worsted = bluem-worsted :productlink], 100% Bluefaced Leicester (165m \/ 180yds per 100g skein)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 (4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7) skeins, shade [productlink: Cranbrooke = bluem-worsted-cranbrooke :productlink]\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e20 sts and 23 rows = 10cm (4in) over twisted rib pattern worked flat, unstretched after blocking.

It is a simple knit introducing the knitter to simple decreasing and working in the round with a circular needle and knitted in chunky wool, it knits up extremely quickly. The pattern includes three sizes for differing head circumferences. To find the right size for you, use a tape measure to measure your head at its widest point and select the pattern size closest to this and follow the instructions for this size. The pattern can also easily be adjusted for the perfect height of beanie, by simple increasing or reducing the number of straight knit rounds worked before the crown shaping commences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Landmark Beanie is knitted in Susan Crawford [link: Wold Chunky=:=\/collections\/wold-chunky :link], a sturdy 100% British wool chunky yarn, spun exclusively for us in a nearby Yorkshire mill. Wold Chunky, unlike many similar chunky yarns, holds its shape and structure really well, making it perfect for repeated use and longevity. Worsted spun, it is also smooth against the scalp.
