Fortune Sweater- Petite Knit

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

The Fortune Sweater is knitted from top to bottom with raglan increases, and the sleeves are three-quarter length. It is knitted in stockinette stitch with a clover pattern. The ribbing of the neck is knitted first and folded double while being joined together. After that, short rows with turns are knitted on the front piece to shape the neckline. While knitting short rows and raglan increases, the clover pattern is also knitted – be careful to place the clover pattern correctly so that it is symmetrical and meets correctly under the armhole. Read through the entire yoke section before you start knitting.

Size guide

The Fortune Sweater should have a positive ease of about 15-25 cm in relation to your bust measurement. Before you start knitting, you should measure your bust with a tape measure. Add 15-25 cm to your bust measurement (depending on how loose or tight you want your Fortune Sweater), and then knit the size that best fits these measurements. Example: You measure yourself with 95 cm around the bust. Add 15-25 cm to this measurement, and you get 110-120 cm (95 cm around the bust + 15-25 cm positive ease = 110-125 cm). Size M with a chest circumference of 114 cm falls within this range.
