The sweater is inspired by old Copenhagen and its narrow, winding streets. This large and chunky sweater features 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 according to the chart. The front and back pieces are knitted flat, and then the body and sleeves are knitted in the round.

Knitted Streets of Copenhagen is designed to have more ease than the wearer’s own bust measurement, known as positive ease. We recommend using the “suggested bust measurement” as a reference when choosing your size. For example, if your bust measurement is 98 cm, you should knit size 2 to achieve the intended fit.

Knitting from charts

Always begin in the bottom-right corner of the chart. When knitting in the round, read the chart from right to left on all rows. When knitting flat, read the chart from right to left on right-side rows and from left to right on wrong-side rows.
