Hazel Sweater - Paper

Hazel Sweater is knitted from the top down in rib. First, the back piece is knitted with increases. Then the shoulders are knitted, which are shaped with decreases. The shoulders are gathered to form the front piece, after which the front and back pieces are gathered to form the body. The body is first knitted in the round and then divided into a front piece and a back piece, so that a long split is formed in the sides. The split begins at about the same height as the hip bone. The sleeves are shaped with shortened needles/reversible needles before being knitted in the round in rib. The polo collar of the neck is finally knitted in rib. The pattern also contains instructions for knitting a short model without a split (the yarn consumption for the long model with a split is indicated here).

Size guide

Hazel Sweater should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 16-24 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. Measure yourself before you start knitting to assess 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 108 cm and in the aforementioned example will provide a range of movement (positive ease) of 18 cm.
