This sweater is knitted almost seamlessly in the round. You will need to sew the seams and small holes under the armpits.

For all sizes the yoke consists of 10 charts (drawings). For each size there is a separate chart. Drawing for each size is slightly different to ensure the same amount of drawings for all sizes.

No ready to wear clothing size charts have been used in this pattern. After knitting drawing from chart of your size you will need to measure your body and follow the instructions and guidelines to separate body from sleeves and knit the body and sleeves of the sweater.

Needles:
Circular needles 4-5 mm (US 6-8) 40 cm, 60 cm, 80 cm.
Double pointed needles 4-5 mm (US 6-8).
I knit loose, so I am using 3 mm needles for this project. You will need to adjust needles to your knitting style to achieve gauge and right size.

Yarn: In this pattern I am using 100 % Icelandic wool Lettlopi by ISTEX. Colors – 0054 Ash, 9419 Ocean Blue
Because no ready to wear clothing size charts have been used in this patterns, it is not possible to calculate exact amount of yarn you will need. For the size L example what is used in this pattern to describe all calculation, you would need 0054 Ash 10 balls 50g., 9419 Ocean Blue 2 balls 50g. Ocean Blue 2 balls 50 gb. will be enough for size XL and XXL. Amount of Ash color can change.
