  • Goat Sweater This Pattern Was Written for a Mid-Gauge Knitting Machine
    Modified Pattern for Shirley Smith’s Goat Sweater http://fiascofarm.com/goats/goatsweater.htm This pattern was written for a mid-gauge knitting machine. It takes me about 1 hour to knit and sew together. This sweater is made in two pieces (back and chest), then sewn together. I do not have a rib- bing attachment, so the ribbing I use is a mock ribbing. If you have a ribber (or want to hand knit the ribbing), cut the number of ribbing rows in half and use the full number of needles (stitches) as the part of the sweater you are knitting. I used Wool-Ease™ worsted wool by Lion Brand Yarns. It is an inex- pensive super-wash wool that holds up well and can be washed and dried by machine. Gauge: 6 stitches/inch; 7 rows/inch Back (knit from the neck to tail) Tension 4 Cast on (CO) 30 stitches every other needle in waste yarn using an e-wrap cast on. Hang weights. Knit 3 or 4 rows. (CO 60 stitches if you are using a ribbing attachment) Change to main color (MC) and knit 38 rows of mock rib (knit 18 rows if using a ribber). (Hint: If you leave a really long tail at the beginning of your MC knitting you can use this to sew the neck together and then sew the chest piece to the back piece on one side.) Bring non-working needles forward. To hang hem, take 1st row of MC yarn (near the waste yarn) and hang on empty needles that you just brought forward.
