Cloud Sweater - Paper
This recipe is in Norwegian.
The Cloud Sweater is knitted from the top down. First, the top part of the back piece is knitted back and forth, where the slope of the shoulders is formed with shortened needles (reversible needles). Then the shoulders are knitted separately back and forth, also with reversible needles. The shoulders are gathered at the front to form the front piece. The front and back piece are then gathered to form the body, which is knitted in the round on circular needles. The sleeves are knitted from open sts along the sleeve opening and knitted in the round on circular needles. The stockinette collar of the neck is finally knitted from open sts.
Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the right gauge.
Size guide
The Cloud Sweater should have a positive ease of movement of approximately 25 cm in the smallest sizes, but gradually less in the larger sizes. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement, measured on your own body, of 75-80 (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. 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 113 cm and in the aforementioned example will provide a range of movement (positive ease) of 23 cm.
