Louvre Sweater - PetiteKnit

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

We have used the beautiful yarn Varde from Hillesvåg.

The Louvre Sweater is knit top-down with raglan increases. Short rows are knit after the neckline ribbing to shape the neckline.

Size guide

The Louvre Sweater should have a positive ease of about 20 cm relative to your bust measurement. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) correspond to a bust measurement, taken on your own body, of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to find the size that fits you best. For example, if you measure 92 cm around your bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size M. A size M sweater has a chest width of 114 cm and will in this example give a positive ease of 22 cm.
