Ingrid Sweater Man - Paper

This recipe is in Norwegian.

Ingrid Sweater Man is knitted from the top down in textured knit. First, the back piece is knitted, which is shaped with shortened needles/reversible needles to create a shoulder slope. Then, stitches are picked up for the shoulders, which are gathered at the front to the front piece. The front and back pieces are gathered under the armhole to form the body, which is knitted straight down. The sleeves are knitted in the round on double pointed needles or with the Magic Loop technique. A rib edge is knitted at the neck, which is folded and knitted down. Ingrid Sweater Man is knitted with textured knit, which consists of three different pattern segments.

Knit a test piece before you start, to measure the knitting tension – note that the knitting tension in both height and width must be correct to achieve the measurements stated on the front.

Size guide

Ingrid Sweater You should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 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 86-91 (91-96) 96-101 (101-107) 107-113 (113-119) 119-124 (124-132) 132-144 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 103 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your upper body), you should knit size L. A sweater in size L has a width of 128 cm and in the above example will give a range of movement (positive ease) of 25 cm.
