Black Metallic Work Basket Sweater from WorkBasket Patterns

The first picture shows the long fringe.
This is a crochet stitch and the long 'western' style fringe which could pass for other fashion eras as well is attached just like the ends of a pillow or afghan when you add the fringe, instead you add it around the neckline. The cuffs are rib stitch and so is the hem, so the sweater looks finished.
H and J hooks. So, it doesn't take too long.

I don't have time to count out the stitches so rather than be entirely a disappointment as I can't find the workbasket I was eagerly looking for to not have to recount the stitches, I frequently design my own and do not write down the pattern until afterward. A free similar fun pattern. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/92-6-a---cardigan-in-eskimo-and-puddel
This takes 1000 yds of bulky weight, I have success by doubling a worsted weight which is usually economical. My black sweater was made with glitter charcoal Red Heart. You can probably add 4 stitches, go down the needles one size to the  I and the 10 and not double the yarn.

 I believe I cast on 62 for hem and did ribbing in crochet and a H or I hook for 3 inches and 30 on the sleeve with crochet ribbing for 5 inches. The body is a shell crochet stitch for 16 inches at which you shape an underarm by decreasing to 46 stitches over 3 inches and letting the armhole area grow to a rise of 9 inches. The arms should measure a total of 22 inches including the ribbing and increase to 56 stitches evenly spaced after the ribbed beginning. The neckline is a wide U-neck to accommodate the fringe which is 10 inches long and is made from 20 inch strands held double. To create a wide U-neckline begin the U-neck in front at the same time you create the beginning of the armholes. Decrease 2 stitches until there will be 14 stitches left for the shoulder area. In the back make a high wide U-neck by decreasing 8 stitches at a time until there are about 14 stitches left for the shoulder seams beginning about 8 inches into the sleeve armhole shaping. You can finish the back neck with a row of single crochet if it is too low. Tie the fringe all across the front neckline. You can use your favorite shell stitch.

The needle size here is confusing, you need a J crochet hook US and a 10 or 10 1/2 knitting needle with bulky yarn.
