Key Sweater - Paper
This recipe is in Norwegian.
The Key Sweater is knitted top down with raglan increases. The rib edge of the neck is worked in reverse rows to create the neckline. The body and sleeves are knitted in the round and both finished with a rib edge. The sweater is knitted with a two-tone stripe pattern.
Size guide
The Key Sweater should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 25 cm in the smallest sizes, but gradually less in the largest sizes. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement 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 given 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 86 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your upper body), you should knit size XS. A sweater in size XS has an upper width of 111 cm and in the aforementioned example will provide a range of movement (positive ease) of 25 cm.
