Esther Sweater Man - Petite Knit

You can knit this sweater with our beautiful yarn Varde from Hillesvåg, 200m/hg.

Esther Sweater Man is knitted from top to bottom with structured knitting. First, the upper part of the back is knitted with increases. Next, stitches are picked up for the shoulder parts, which in turn are brought together at the front when the front piece is to be knitted. Front piece and back are then joined under the armholes and continue in the torso, which is knitted straight down. The sleeves are knitted in the round on circular needle. Finally, an elastic edging is knitted in the neck.

Make a sample to find the stitch size that gives you the right stitch strength.
