Avellana Sweater
Construction:
The sweater is knitted from the top down. Firstly, stitches are cast on for the back piece which is worked flat with increases on every row.
Stitches are then picked up for the two shoulder-pieces which are worked separately, also with increases. The double knitted neckline is then worked before the shoulders are joined to form the front piece. The front- and back-piece are joined to create the body which is worked in the round and finished with a rib edge and an Italian cast-off. Finally, the sleeves are worked by picking up stitches and working in the round.
Size guide
The sweater can be knitted in 4 different sizes: XXS-XS (S-M) L-XL (2XL-4XL) with a circumference of 91 (109) 127 (145) cm. The sweater is designed to have a positive ease of 10-25 cm but can be knitted with a larger or smaller positive ease, depending on the preferred look.
