San sweater is part of Gepard Yarn’s 2024 Color Chunky Collection. The sweater is called San, which means mountain in Korean, because of the diamond shapes in the Fair Isle pattern on the yoke, reminiscent of mountains, and because of the aqua color on the body, symbolizing the glacial lakes and streams often found in mountain ranges.
CONSTRUCTION: San sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down, beginning with the collar. The yoke is created with increases and has a Fair Isle pattern.
LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: the pattern is categorized as easy to medium difficulty.

Gauge:
15 sts x 16 rows = 10 x 10 cm / 4″ on a 6 mm / US 10 needle in Fair Isle pattern.
15 sts x 22 rows = 10 x 10 cm / 4″ on a 5.5 mm / US 9 needle in stockinette in 1 color.
SUGGESTED NEEDLES
6 mm / US 10 circular needle (40-80 cm / 16-32″)
5.5 mm / US 9 circular needle (60-80 cm / 24-32″)
4 mm / US 4 circular needle (40-80 cm / 16-32″)
Please note that the pattern suggests changing to a 5.5 / US 9 needle for the body after the Fair Isle section as many people knit colorwork more tightly. Always check your gauge in either case.
