The TEJEDA sweater is a chunky and oversized sweater with statement semi-turtleneck collar. It’s warm, comfortable, and perfect to snuggle up in. Its simple design, in (almost) all-over stockinette, makes it a timeless staple piece for any wardrobe. The color block scheme adds a bit more interest for those who like that, but can also easily be omitted.

The pattern requires basic knitting techniques plus some short row shaping and kitchener stitch. It’s worked in the round from the bottom up and requires no seaming afterwards. For all the required techniques, the pattern refers to a YouTube tutorial. Therefore, knitting a TEJEDA sweater is doable even for the adventurous beginner.

SIZES & MEASUREMENTS

TEJEDA comes in the sizes small, medium, large, and extra large, which are written up as follows: S (M, L, XL). The pattern photos show a size small on a 88 cm / 34.5 in bust. The recommended positive ease is, therefore, approximately 29 cm / 11.5 in. However, the pattern can also very well be knitted with less positive ease to create a more fitted sweater.
