Stripes On Long Sweater - Paper

Stripes on a Long Sweater is knitted from the bottom up in a K4, P4 rib pattern. The sleeves are knitted by picking up stitches along the armhole and knitting in the round on a small circular needle or with double pointed needles. Finally, a double rib is knitted at the neckline. Stripes on a Long Sweater is therefore almost assembly-free.

Size guide
Stripes Along Sweater has a slightly oversized fit. As a starting point, you can choose to knit a size that is approx. 20-25 cm larger than your chest measurement (see measurements on the front). The model in the picture has a waist of approx. 85 cm and is wearing size XS. You can measure the length of a well-fitting sweater from your wardrobe before you start knitting. As the sweater is knitted from the bottom up, any adjustment of the length must already be done when the body is knitted. The length of the sweater remains approximately the same after washing and steaming - it is, however, important to stretch the rib out to the correct knitting tension when measuring the length along the way (as the rib gets a slightly shorter length when stretched in width).
