Knitlidt Sweater is a classic sweater with a loose fit and a high tightly fitted turtleneck. The sweater is worked in the round, from the top down with both raglan increases and German Short Rows, both on the neck and at the bottom of body which gives the neck of the sweater a rounded fit and equal length both on the front and back. The sleeves are worked in the round on double pointed needles or by using Magic Loop Technique. The sweater featured is light and airy and a size M knitted in Cloud from Lang Yarns in the colorway 1077.0011. Body and neck can be altered if needed and you can make a longer or shorter sweater accordingly.

Note that there are 2 different sizes of recommended needles depending on choice of yarn: In the pattern, the 2nd needle suggestion is marked 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm and written in blue (read more under recommended needles and yarn suggestion).

Size guide
Knitlidt Sweater is designed with a positive ease of approx. 12-16 cm in relation to your chest measurement. Size XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL correlates to a chest measurement of approx. 70-76 (76-82) 82-88 (88-94) 94-100 (100-106) 106-112 (112-118) 118-124 cm. If your chest measurement e.g. is 86 cm, you should knit a size S with a final chest circumference of 100 cm. Remember that these measurements only apply if you have the correct gauge. If you like a tighter fit, I would recommend going down a size in relation to your chest measurement.
