This sweater is knitted seamlessly in the round. Knitting starts with neck and goes to the bottom. I choose this way of knitting because during knitting process it is possible to control how sweater is fitting on the body. This type of sweater looks better if it is not tight to the body.
This pattern is unisex. The front and the back of the pattern is the same. You can adjust this pattern for your body type (not included in the pattern). To make the back of the neck higher (elevate the back of the sweater), you can make short rows. You can add waist shaping etc.

Because of the style and size of drawing I am using in my designs, I can’t offer size smaller then L. The neck line consists of 10 drawings (charts). If you want to choose the size of the sweater, you need to choose certain drawing (chart). You can adjust drawing (chart) to your measurements by changing amount of stitches in the drawing (chart), not to choose more/less drawings (charts). You can easy adjust arm length, sweater length by changing amount of rows you knit.

In this pattern I am using 100 % Icelandic wool Lettlopi by ISTEX. Colors – 0051 White 1 ball 50g, 1409 Garnet Red 2 balls 50g, 0057 Grey 7 balls 50g. Total 500g of yarn for size XL.

Circular needles 4mm 40cm, 4mm 60cm.
Double pointed needles 4mm.
I am knitting very loose, so I am using 3mm needles for this project. Adjust needles to your knitting style to achieve gauge and right size.
