IN ENGLISH:

The sweater is knitted from the bottom up, first in one piece in the round up to the armholes, after which the work is divided into the front and back pieces, which are knitted separately and finally joined at the shoulders. The neck ribbing is worked at the end from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the neck edge, after which it is turned twice at the end to give it a clean finish. When the body is ready, stitches for the sleeves are picked up and knitted along the armholes and the sleeves are worked in the round down to the cuffs. The broken rib stitch pattern is created by alternating stockinette stitch and 1 o 1 rib stitch between rows.

Sizes:

Dimensions:
Shirt length from neckline to hem approx. 54(55)56(57)58(59) cm / 21(21)22(22)23(23) inches
Bust circumference of the final sweater: 98(108)118(128)138(148) cm / 38(42)46(50)54(58) inches

Magnolia sweater is designed to have approx. 20 cm (7,5 inches) of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 20 cm (inches) larger in circumference than your bust measurement.

Here’s how to choose the right size: Measure your own chest circumference (or the widest point on your upper body), add 20 cm / 7,5 inches to it, and based on the sum, choose the right size according to the dimensions of the finished shirt. For example, if your chest circumference is 108 cm / 42 inches, choose size number 4.

IN FINNISH:

Magnolia-neule neulotaan alhaalta ylös ensin yhtenä kappaleena suljettuna neuleena kainaloille asti, jonka jälkeen työ jaetaan etu- ja takakappaleeseen, jotka neulotaan vuorotellen tasona ja lopuksi yhdistetään olkapäiltä. Pääntielle poimitaan silmukat ja neulotaan resori, joka käännetään lopuksi kaksinkerroin. Kun vartalo on valmis, neulotaan hihat yksi kerrallaan suoraan vartaloon kiinni poimimalla silmukat suoraan hihoilta. Pinnan kuviointi (broken rib stitch) syntyy vaihtelemalla vuorotellen oikeaa ja 1 o 1 n -joustinneuletta kerroksilla.

Koot: 1(2)3(4)5(6) – ks. mitat alta
