Sunday Sweater - Paper

The Sunday Sweater is knitted from the top down. The yoke is knitted in the round in rib with increases. The body and sleeves are knitted in stocking stitch, both and finished with a rib edge. The sleeves on the Sunday Sweater are long and knitted with increases, so that they become larger towards the wrist. The neckline is knitted down when the yoke is knitted - alternatively, it can be folded down and sewn to the wrong side at the end.

Size guide

Sunday Sweater should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 10-15 cm in relation to your chest measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL correspond to a chest measurement (measured on your body) of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are on the front of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the knitting tension is adhered to). Measure yourself around your chest (or the widest point of your upper body) before you start knitting, to assess which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 94 cm around your chest, you should knit size M. A sweater in size M has a chest width of 106 cm and in the above example will have a positive ease of movement of 12 cm.

The Sunday Sweater in the picture is knitted in Snefnug (light beige) from Camarose and Silk Mohair (6) from Isager Garn.

Sunday Sweater has a different knitting strength than Sunday Sweater - Mohair Edition and is therefore knitted on thicker needles and has a different mesh count. The Sunday Sweater also has cutouts on the sleeve. Apart from this, the design is the same.
