Anker's Summer Sweater - PetiteKnit

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

The Anker Summer Sweater is knitted from top to bottom. The yoke consists of sections with ribbing followed by classic raglan increases. The sleeves are knitted last on double-pointed needles or using the Magic Loop technique. The Anker Summer Sweater requires no seaming. Knit a gauge swatch to find the right needle size that gives you the correct gauge. Note that the swatch should be washed and blocked before you measure the gauge.

Size guide

The Anker Summer Sweater should have a positive ease of about 0-5 cm in relation to your bust measurement.

The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL correspond to a bust measurement, taken on your own body, of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are listed on the first page of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the gauge is maintained). Measure yourself around the bust (or the widest part of your body) before you start knitting to assess which size fits you best. For example, if you measure 95 cm around the bust, you should knit size M. A sweater in size M has a chest width of 96 cm and in the above example will have a positive ease of 1 cm.
