Hazel Sweater

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

Hazel Sweater is knitted from the top down in ribbing. First, the back is knitted with increases. Then the shoulders are knitted, shaped with decreases, and joined together to knit the front piece. The front piece is then joined with the back to knit the body. The body is first knitted in the round before being divided into a front and back piece, creating a long side slit. The slit starts approximately at hip level. The sleeves are shaped with short rows before being knitted in the round in ribbing. The polo collar is knitted last in ribbing. The pattern also includes guidance for knitting a short version without a slit (the yarn requirements for the long version with a slit are indicated on the front of the pattern).

When you knit the sweater, it will tend to pull together. This evens out after washing and blocking. When measuring during the process, you should straighten out your knitting to the correct gauge.

Size Guide

Hazel Sweater should have a positive ease of approx. 16-24 cm relative to your bust measurement. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement, measured directly on the body, of 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 indicated on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will suit 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 108 cm and will, in the stated example, provide a positive ease of 18 cm.
