NOTES ABOUT DESIGN

The Kleos Sweater has a classic drop-shoulder design with an oversized fit with a positive ease of about 20 cm around the bust circumference.

The Kleos Sweater has a bottom-up construction. The first section is the length up to the armpit. Work this section in the round. Then work for the front and back panels separately across the armhole.
To shape the neckline, work the shoulders separately for the last few rows of the front panel.

After completing the front and back panels, join the shoulders stitches.

The last step is the sleeves. Pick up the sts around the armhole, and work in the round in the established pattern.

How much yarn do you need?

I used for my sample WoolAddicts Glory in color 078. Composition: 100% Merino. Each ball has 50 grams and is approximately 70 meters.

For each size, you will approximately need:

8 (9, 9, 10) (11, 11, 12, 13, 14) balls or
560 meters (590, 630, 680) (720, 770, 840, 900, 970)
