The Mr. Goostavo sweater is knitted top-down in stockinette stitch with raglan increases. That‘s right! There‘s no seaming or picking up stitches! There are german short rows included for neckline shaping. Mr. Goostavo is then added with duplicate stitch. There are different charts for him at the end of the pattern. There is a large cowboy goose (as pictured), a smaller cowboy goose, a wizard goose and one with a rain coat. Sizes: 1 (2) 3 (4) 5 (6) 7 (8) The sizes correspond to a sweater circumference of 105 (110) 120 (125) 133 (138) 149 (159) cm. The sweater should be knitted with a positive ease of approx. 13-20 cm. This also depends on whether you like a more loose fit or a more fitted fit. For example: If your bust circumference measures 103 cm, then you should knit a size 3. This will give you a positive ease of 17 cm. Measure yourself before you start to ensure you choose the correct size. If you‘re in between sizes I would recommend choosing the larger one.

But I have to mention an important thing when considering a yarn substitute. The yarn I’m using is a blown yarn and runs 210 meters (230 yards) per 50 grams. At that yardage the yarn would be considered a fingering/ sports weight yarn but attention! That does not mean you can replace it with another fingering/ sports weight yarn. Due to the composition and the fact that it’s a blown yarn, the yarn is a lot thicker. The needle size recommended is 4 – 4.5 mm (6-7 US). This needle size corresponds to a DK/ worsted weight yarn. The issue here is that a yarn in that weight category usually runs 100 – 150 meters (110 – 164 yards) per 50 grams. This would make the sweater a lot heavier and drapier. If that’s the look you’re going for, it’s totally fine, just be aware of it. If you were to use a thinner yarn on the other hand, that would create a more light weight fabric, which could be a little see through. I recommend checking out the list of alternatives I created 🙂 Yarn alternatives: Yarn alternatives to be held with a fluffy yarn: Ecopuno – Lana Grossa (215 m/ 50 gr) Puno Luce – Lana Grossa (250 m/ 50 gr) Patagonia – Juniper Moon (175 m/ 50 gr) Divina – Hobbii (150 m/ 50 gr) _______________________________________ Yarn alternatives to be held alone: Lambswool – Lang Yarns (150 m/ 50 gr) Air – Drops Design (150 m /50 gr) Natural Alpaca Pelo – Lana Grossa (125m/ 50 gr)
