Jody Long JLB Daniel Knitted Sweater
What is Being Made
The Daniel is a classic knitted sweater designed for experienced knitters, available in six sizes ranging from small (chest 91-97 cm / 36-38 inches) to triple extra large (chest 142-147 cm / 56-58 inches). The sweater features a finished chest measurement of 110 cm to 170 cm depending on size, with a full length ranging from 68 to 73 cm and sleeve length of 48 to 51 cm. This garment is worked in the Jody Long ROVESOFT yarn collection, shown in the Admiral 007 colorway.
Knitting Techniques
The Daniel sweater employs several key knitting techniques suitable for experienced knitters. The garment is worked flat on straight needles rather than in the round, and is seamed together after individual pieces are completed. The construction method is bottom-up, meaning knitting begins at the lower edges and progresses toward the shoulders and neckline. The pattern introduces various shaping techniques through straightforward, simple construction methods that build knitting skills progressively.
Stitches and Stitch Patterns
The sweater begins with a classic ribbed cuff worked in a K2, P2 (knit 2, purl 2) rib pattern. After the initial ribbed section, the main body transitions into a cable pattern that forms the primary design element. The cable work includes C4B (cable 4 back) and C4F (cable 4 front) stitches, which create the characteristic twisted rope-like texture. These cables are integrated into a repeating 4-row pattern that alternates between cable crossing rows and purl rows, creating visual interest and texture throughout the sweater body.
Materials and Needles
The Daniel pattern calls for Jody Long ROVESOFT yarn, requiring 9 to 13 balls of 100g each depending on the finished size. Two needle sizes are required for proper gauge and construction: 4.5 mm (US 7) needles for the ribbed sections and 5.5 mm (US 9) needles for the main cable pattern work. Additional tools include 2 double-pointed 4.5 mm needles and a cable needle for executing the cable stitches. The pattern specifies a tension of 20 stitches and 24 rows to 10 cm (4 inches) measured over the cable pattern using the 5.5 mm needles, making tension checking essential before beginning the project.
Pattern Notes
Instructions are provided for the smallest size with all size variations given in square brackets. Yarn quantities are approximate based on average requirements. The pattern uses standard knitting abbreviations including repeat figures in round brackets indicating how many times to work a sequence, and the numeral 0 indicates that no stitches, times, or rows are worked for certain sizes at specific points.
