Key Sweater - PetiteKnit

This looks so nice in Heavy Merino from Knitting for Olive!

The Key Sweater is knitted from top to bottom with raglan increases. Short rows are knitted after the neckline ribbing to shape the neckline. The body and sleeves are knitted in the round and both finish with a ribbing. The sweater features a two-color stripe pattern.

Size guide

The Key Sweater should have a positive ease of about 25 cm in the smallest sizes, but gradually less in the largest sizes. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) 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 86 cm around the bust (or the widest part of the body), you should knit a size XS. A sweater in size XS has a chest width of 111 cm and will in this example give a positive ease of 25 cm.
