Hazel Sweater - PetiteKnit

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

We have chosen stylish Jensen Isager together with 1 strand of Soft Mohair from Isager.

The Hazel Sweater is knitted from top to bottom in ribbing. First, the back is knitted with increases. Then the shoulders are knitted, shaped with decreases, and then joined to knit the front piece. The front piece is then joined with the back to knit the body. The body is first knitted in the round and then divided into a front and back piece, creating a long slit on the side. The slit starts approximately at hip bone level. The sleeves are shaped using short rows before being knitted in the round in ribbing. The turtleneck collar is knitted last in ribbing. The pattern also includes guidance for knitting a short version without a slit (the yarn requirements for the long version with slit are indicated on the front of the pattern).

When you knit the sweater, it will tend to pull in. This evens out after washing and blocking. When measuring during the process, you should straighten your knitting to the correct gauge.

Size guide

The Hazel Sweater should have a positive ease of about 16-24 cm in relation to your bust measurement. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement, taken directly on the body, of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The finished sweater measurements are indicated 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 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A size S sweater has a chest width of 108 cm and in this example will provide a positive ease of 18 cm.
