Weekend Sweater - Paper
The Weekend Sweater is knitted from the top down. First, the top of the back piece is knitted back and forth, shaping the slope of the shoulders with shortened needles (reversible needles). Then the shoulders are knitted, which are gathered at the front to form the front piece. The front and back piece are then gathered to form the body, and knitted in the round on circular needles. The sleeves are knitted from the open sts along the sleeve opening and knitted in the round on circular needles and double pointed needles or with the Magic Look technique. The rib at the neck is knitted last.
Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the right gauge.
Size guide
Weekend Sweater should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 30 cm in relation to your chest measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a chest measurement, measured on your own body, of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are stated on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting, to consider which size will fit you best. If you e.g. measure 90 cm around the chest (or the widest part of your upper body), you should knit a size S. A sweater in size S has an upper width of 120 cm and in the aforementioned example will provide a range of movement (positive ease) of 30 cm.
