The sweater is knitted from the top down. After the two-coloured part, short rows are made to raise the back to make a good fit, then the work is divided for body and sleeves. The body and sleeves are cast off with an i-cord. The sweater has a low neckline and a loose fit. Size: A(B)C(D)E(F)G = Bust circumference: 84(90)100(108)114(124)132 cm (33,1 (35,4)39,4(42,5)44,9 (48,8) 52 ”) These measurements indicate the finished size. The sweater is designed to be worn with 5-10cm (2-4”) of positive ease. Please note that some yarns stretch after washing and blocking. To be sure of how much your sweater will stretch in washing, make a make a 10x10cm (4x4”) swatch and soak up to see how much bigger the sweater will be. Gauge: 20 sts and 26 rnds = 10cm (4”) with 4 mm (US 6) needles Take time to check the gauge. Even small changes in the gauge can make a big difference in size. Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge. Material: Yarn: Alt 1: Tant koftas strikkegarn (shown in the picture) or other wool yarn 220-250m - 100g.

I work with the magic loop method which make it possible to knit the whole work using the same cable-length. There are many videos on the internet that show this method. 5 markers. (tip: you do not need anything fancy, I tie small loops of scrap yarn)
