A quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel sides. An asymmetrical cardigan with a dynamic shape, Trapezoid is a modern sweater perfect for layering throughout fall and winter.

Errata-
The correct needle sizes are as follows:
Size 2 (2.75mm) straight needles for sleeves
Size 6 (4mm) circular needle, 24” or longer, “smaller needle” for front edgings
Size 9 (5.5mm) circular needle, 24” or longer, for sweater body

The correct gauges are as follows:
17 sts & 24 rows = 4” in Twisted St st with Yarn A on size 9 (5.5mm)
36 sts & 40 rows = 4” in 2x1 rib with Yarn B on size 2 (2.75mm)

Front edgings are worked with size 6 needle. Body is worked with size 9 needle. Sleeves are worked with size 2 needle (or size needed to obtain gauge).

Notes: Body is knit in Yarn A, in twisted st st from side to side beginning at wide end. Sleeves are knit cuff up in Yarn B in 2x1 rib. Both pieces are knit flat.
