No-Nonsense Sweater

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

The Inga Krusiduller Sweater is a simple raglan sweater with a deeper neckline at the front. The fit is slightly oversized, but the wide ribbed edges and slightly shorter length give the sweater a feminine cut. The Inga Krusiduller Sweater is knitted from the top down, so it is recommended to try the sweater on as you knit, so that you can adjust the length of the sleeves and body to suit you. If you want to maintain the tight neckline, you can sew in a thin elastic thread along the ribbed edge.

Make a gauge swatch to find the knitting size that gives the correct gauge.

Size Guide

The Inga Krusiduller Sweater should have a positive ease of around 15 cm relative to your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL correspond to a bust measurement of around 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the gauge is maintained). Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size to choose. Example: You measure yourself with a tape measure around your chest (or stomach, if that is the widest part of your body) to 93 cm. This means that you should knit size M. A sweater in size M has a width of 108 cm and in the stated example will give a positive ease of 15 cm.
