Esther Sweater Man - PetiteKnit

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

Esther Sweater Man is knitted top-down with textured knitting. First, the upper part of the back is knitted with increases. Then stitches are picked up for the shoulder sections, which are then joined at the front when the front piece is knitted. The front and back are then joined under the armholes and continue in the body, which is knitted straight down. The sleeves are knitted in the round on circular needles. Finally, a ribbed neckline is knitted.

Make a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the correct gauge. 

Size guide

Esther Sweater Man should have a positive ease of about 10-15 cm relative to your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement, taken on the body, of 86-91 (91-96) 96-101 (101-107) 107-113 (113-119) 119-124 (124-132) 132-144 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 104 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size L. A sweater in size L has a chest circumference of 119 cm and will in this example give a positive ease of 15 cm.
