Cloud Sweater - PetiteKnit

It becomes incredibly soft with ECO Soft together with Silk Mohair from Isager.

The Cloud Sweater is knitted from top to bottom. First, the upper part of the back is knitted back and forth, with short rows to create a shoulder slope. Then the shoulder sections are knitted separately back and forth, also using short rows. The parts are then joined at the front, and knitting continues on the front piece. The front and back pieces are joined to shape the body, which is knitted in the round on a circular needle. The sleeves are knitted in the round on a circular needle from stitches picked up along the armhole. The neckline’s stockinette collar is knitted last from picked-up stitches.

Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the correct gauge.

Size guide

The Cloud Sweater should have a positive ease of about 25 cm in the smallest sizes, gradually less in the larger sizes. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement, taken on the body, of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The finished garment 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 the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A size S sweater has a chest width of 113 cm and will, in this example, provide a positive ease of 23 cm.
