Caramel Sweater

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

It is excellent to knit with 1 of our merino and 1 thread of our Soft Silk Mohair.

The Caramel Sweater is knitted top down with raglan increases on the yoke. The Caramel Sweater has a long polo collar in double rib knit, and the neckline is shaped using shortened rounds in the transition between polo collar and yoke. Double elastic is also knitted on the sleeves and at the bottom of the torso. These elastic edges will initially contract but after washing/ironing/blocking they will stretch. The Caramel Sweater is assembly-free.

Size guide

Caramel Sweater should have a range of motion (positive ease) of 5-10 cm in relation to your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL correspond to a bust measurement measured 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 knit strength is maintained). Measure yourself before you start knitting, to judge which size fits you best. If you e.g. measures 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a Size S. A Sweater in Size S has an excess width of 99 cm and in the mentioned example will give a range of movement (positive ease) of 9 cm.
