Monday Sweater

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

Knitting for Olives Merino works great together with Soft Silk Mohair or just in Cumbria.

The Monday Sweater is knitted top down with raglan increases on the yoke. The neck edge is knitted down and shortened rounds are knitted in the neck to form the neckline. The sleeves are knitted in the round on double pointed needles or with Magic Loop technology. 

Size guide

The Monday Sweater should have a range of motion (positive ease) of approx. 15-20 cm in relation to your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement, measured on your own body, of 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. Before you start knitting, measure yourself to find the size that fits you best. If you e.g. measures 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A sweater in size S has an overall width of 110 cm and in the mentioned example will give a range of movement (positive ease) of 20 cm.
