The sweater is inspired by old Copenhagen and its narrow winding streets. This large and thick sweater offers both curved and straight lines. It is both relaxed and sophisticated, just like Copenhagen is to us.
The sweater is very oversized and has extra long sleeves. The sleeves can be knitted shorter if desired. The sweater is knitted from the top down following charts. The front and back pieces are knitted back and forth, then the body and sleeves are knitted in the round.
Knitted Streets of Copenhagen is designed to have a positive ease, meaning the garment’s circumference is larger than the actual bust measurement. We recommend using the "guiding bust measurement" as a reference when choosing size. For example, if your bust measures 98 cm, you should knit size 2 to achieve the intended fit.
Knit with charts
Always start at the bottom right corner of the chart. In circular knitting, read the chart from right to left on all rows. When knitting back and forth, read the chart from right to left on the right side and from left to right on the wrong side.
At www.knittingforolive.dk you will find a detailed guide on how to knit with charts with examples from our own patterns.
