Caramel Sweater - Petiteknit

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

It is perfectly fine to knit with 1 strand of our merino and 1 strand of our Soft Silk Mohair.

We have also knit it in the yarn Arranmore light

The Caramel Sweater is knit top-down with raglan increases on the yoke. The Caramel Sweater has a long turtleneck in double ribbing, and the neckline is shaped using short rows in the transition between the turtleneck and yoke. Double ribbing is also knit on the sleeves and at the bottom of the body. These ribbed edges will first contract but after washing/ironing/blocking they will stretch. The Caramel Sweater is assembly-free.

Size guide

The Caramel Sweater should have a positive ease of 5-10 cm relative to your bust measurement. 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 given on the first page of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the gauge is maintained). Measure yourself before you start knitting to assess which size fits you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A size S sweater has a chest circumference of 99 cm and will in this example give a positive ease of 9 cm.
