GARNTOPIA AUTUMN SWEATER - Jubilant knit - PDF
Garntopia autumn sweater is a light wool sweater with multi-colored knit at the bottom of the body and sleeves. It is knitted from the top down. In the yoke, you increase for sleeve stitches using raglan, while the front and back have circular increases. This gives you a high and neat raglan cut. The neck is shaped using twists. The sweater has about 10 cm of range of motion. Check what upper width you want before deciding on a size.
Sizes: XS (S) M (L) XL (XXL) XXXL
Overall width: 87 (95) 109 (116) 123 (131) 138 cm
Total length: approx. 57 (59) 61 (63) 65 (67) 69 cm or desired length.
Upper sleeve width: 30 (32) 34 (36) 38 (40) 43 cm.
Knitting tension: stockinette stitch section: 22 stitches per 10 cm horizontally, 28 stitches vertically.
Recommended needles: circular needle size 3 for garter stitch and circular needle size 3.5 for stockinette stitch or whatever needle you need to get the right gauge. I recommend knitting a swatch to avoid getting the wrong size. For sleeves, use a long circular needle (magic loop) or double pointed needles.

Yarn change: Untreated wool yarn with a running length of about 175 meters at 50 grams is recommended. For example Filcolana Pernilla. If you change to yarn with a shorter running length (there are many yarn types that give a knitting tension of 22/10) then please note that the sweater will be heavier and that you will need more yarn than stated.
