Savannah Sweater

Savannah Sweater is worked top down with brioche. First the neckline is made, which is folded over and knitted together and then the stitches is divided into saddle shoulders, back- and front piece. These tree parts are put together at the end to create the body. The body is slightly bulky and is worked in the round with brioche and is finished with a broad ribbing edge, which is bound off with Italian bind off. The sweater has balloon sleeves, that ends in a long tight ribbing edge.

Size: XS (S) M (L) XL

Size guide: Savannah Sweater should have a positive ease of approx. 10-15 cm relative to your chest/bust measurements. The sweater has a tight ribbing at the bottom, that fits closely to the body and therefore you should calculate with a little extra length, so that the brioche part on the body of the sweater can bulk a little.

Savannah Sweater strikkes oppefra og ned i patent-strik. Først strikkes halsen, som bukkes ned og strikkes sammen, og derefter deles masker op til sadelskuldre, ryg- og forstykke. Disse tre dele samles til sidst for at danne kroppen. Kroppen er let voluminøs og strikkes rundt i patent og afsluttes med en bred ribkant, der aflukkes med italiensk aflukning. Sweateren har ballonærmer, der samles i en lang, tætsiddende ribkant.

Størrelser: XS (S) M (L) XL
