Margrethe sweater is a sweater with a marguerit pattern on the yoke. The sweater is worked top down in the round with raglan increases and German short rows on both the yoke and the bottom of the body which gives the neck of the sweater a rounded fit and a slightly longer back. The sweater has a loose fit. The sleeves are worked in the round on double pointed needles or using the magic loop technique (I personally prefer the latter). The sweater featured is a size M in Trio by Navia i main color, white (31) and contrast color, dark brown (36). Body and neck can be altered if needed and you can make a longer or shorter sweater accordingly. NB: the Fair Isle charts are attached as a separate PDF.

Size guide
Margrethe 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 27½-30 (30-32¼) 32¼-34½ (34½-37) 37-39¼ (39¼-41¾) 41¾-44 (44-46½) 46½-48¾ inches. If your chest measurement e.g. is 90 cm 35½ inches, you should knit a size M with a final chest circumference of 106 cm 41¾ inches. Remember that these measurements only apply if you have the correct gauge. If you want a tighter fit, I recommend going down a size in relation to your chest measurement.
