Key Sweater Man

We have chosen to knit with our beautiful Norwegian Pälsullsgarn Varde from Hillesvåg.

Key Sweater Man is knitted from the top down with raglan increases. It is knitted with short rows after the neckline ribbing to shape the neckline. Sleeves and body are knitted in the round and both finished with a ribbing. The sweater features a two-color stripe pattern.

Size guide

Key Sweater Man should have a positive ease of about 10 cm in relation to your bust measurement. 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 101 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size M. A size M sweater has a chest width of 112 cm and will in this example give a positive ease of 11 cm.
