Hazel Sweater

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

Can be perfectly knitted in 1 thread Heavy Merino together with 1 thread Soft Silk Mohair.

Hazel Sweater is knitted from top to bottom in elastic. First, the back is knitted with increases. Next, the shoulders are knitted, which are shaped with the help of decreases and then brought together to knit the front piece. The front piece is joined in turn with the back to knit the torso. The torso is first knitted in the round and then divided into a front and a back piece, so that a long slit is formed in the side. The slit starts approximately at the height of the hip bone. The sleeves are shaped using shortened rounds, before being knitted around in elastic. The polo collar of the neck is finally knitted in elastic. The pattern also includes instructions for knitting a short model without a slit (on the front of the pattern the yarn consumption for the long model with a slit is indicated).

When you knit the sweater, it will have a tendency to shrink. This is evened out after washing and blocking. When you measure as you work, you should straighten your knitting to the correct stitch strength.
