Monday Sweater - Paper

This recipe is in Norwegian.

Monday Sweater is knitted top down with raglan increases on the yoke. The neckline is knitted down, and short rows/reversible rows are worked in the neck to shape the neckline. The sleeves are knitted in the round on double pointed needles or with the Magic Loop technique.

Size guide

Monday Sweater should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 15-20 cm in relation to your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust 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 (note that these measurements only apply if the knitting tension is adhered to). Measure yourself before you start knitting, to consider which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your upper body), you should knit size S. A sweater in size S has an upper width of 110 cm and in the aforementioned example will provide a range of movement (positive ease) of 20 cm.

The model in the picture is wearing size XS, has a bust measurement of 82 cm and is 164 cm tall.
