Cloud Sweater

The Cloud Sweater is knitted from the top down. First, the top part of the back is knitted back and forth, and short rows are worked to create a shoulder slope. Then, the shoulder sections are knitted back and forth separately. Short rows are also worked here. The pieces are then joined at the front and the front piece is knitted on. The front piece and back are then joined to form the body, which is knitted in the round on circular needles. The sleeves are knitted in the round on circular needles from the stitches picked up along the armhole. The stockinette-stitch collar is knitted last from the picked-up stitches. 

Knit a gauge swatch to find the needle size that gives you the correct gauge. 

Size Guide

The Cloud Sweater should have a positive ease of approximately 25 cm in the smallest sizes, but gradually less in the larger sizes. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement, measured around the 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 given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. If you, for example, measure 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A sweater in size S has a width of 113 cm and will give a positive ease of 23 cm in the above example.
