Heim sweater
”The Heim sweater, knitted top down in the round, is a delightfully soft, light weight and feminine sweater with a Scandinavian inspired round yoke colourwork design. It is slightly oversized, with straight sleeves, and stylishly short. However, the sweater length can easily be modified to your preferences . Feel fabulous wearing the Heim sweater over jeans or a wide skirt.

The Heim sweater is designed to be slightly oversized. I recommend that you measure the bust measurement of a suitable oversized jumper in your wardrobe, and let that measurement guide your choice of size to knit.
At the photos I wear 2 different sizes. The sand/navy sweater, which fits me best, has 14 cm / 6 inches of positive ease and the light grey/yellow sweater has 21 cm / 8 inches of positive ease in relation to my chest width. My height is 168 cm / 66 inches.

ABOUT THE DESIGN
The Heim sweater is knitted top down in the round, starting with the two coloured colourwork yoke. Increases are worked as indicated in the chart. After completion of the colourwork short rows using the German Short Row method are used to raise the back. Stitches are separated for sleeves and body. The body is knitted straight finishing with a ribbed hem. The sleeves are also worked straight and are finished off with a colourwork section before decreases lead into ribbed cuffs. Finally, stiches are picked up for the neckline, and all trimmings are worked in twisted rib, ending in with rolled edge.
