Monday Sweater

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

The Monday Sweater is knitted from the top down with raglan increases at the yoke. The neckline is knitted down and short rows are worked at the back to shape the neckline. The sleeves are knitted in the round on double-pointed needles or using the Magic Loop technique. 

Size Guide

The Monday Sweater should have a positive ease of approx. 15–20 cm relative to your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement of 80–85 (85–90) 90–95 (95–100) 100–110 (110–120) 120–130 (130–140) 140–150 cm, measured around your body. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to find the size that suits you best. For example, if your bust (or the widest part of your body) measures 90 cm around, you should knit size S. A size S sweater has a width of 110 cm and will therefore provide a positive ease of 20 cm in the example above.
