Ingrid Sweater - PetiteKnit

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

The sweater is perfect to knit with 1 strand of Jensen together with 1 strand of Silk Mohair from Isager.

The Ingrid Sweater is knit from top to bottom in textured knitting. First, the back is knit, using short rows to shape the shoulder slope. Then stitches are picked up for the shoulder sections, which are also knit with short rows to shape the shoulder slope. The shoulder sections are then joined at the front to knit the front piece. The front and back pieces are joined under the armhole to knit the body, which is knit straight down. The sleeves are knit in the round from picked-up stitches in the armhole. The Ingrid Sweater is knit with textured knitting, consisting of three different pattern segments. Between each of these, a section with lace pattern is knit. Make a gauge swatch before you start knitting to measure your gauge – note that the gauge should match both in height and width for the measurements given on the front of the pattern to be accurate.

Size guide

The Ingrid Sweater should have a positive ease of about 20 cm in relation 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 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The finished sweater measurements 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 90 cm around your bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A sweater in size S has a chest circumference of 112 cm and will in this example give a positive ease of 22 cm.
