Toscana Sweater

We are delighted to present Toscana Jumper designed by Astrid at the Atelier with our lovely cotton yarn Le Petit Organic Cotton. Toscana is a an amazing design for the warmer days. Knitted in Le Petit Organic Cotton in Off White, the flowing lace motif on the front is stunning, catching every bit of light and making this a knitting project that feels like a great accomplishment. More achievable than it looks: the pattern is worked on right side rows only, with simple purl rows on the wrong side, letting the stitch do all the talking. Our little Mermaid Jumper. **Construction** The Toscana Jumper is worked flat, back and forth, from the bottom up in four pieces that are joined using a three-needle bind-off. The sleeves are three-quarter length, and the neckline features a beautiful boat neck. **The original Yarn** Biches & Bûches Le Petit Organic Cotton, in the color Off White **Quantity** Sizes: XS (S, M, L) (XL, 2XL) 4 (4, 4, 5) (5, 6) skeins **Knitting Needles (suggested)** 2.5 mm / US 1.5 / UK 12 3 mm / US 2.5 / UK 11 **Gauge** 22 sts and 32 rows = 10 cm / 4" in Pattern A (front) and Pattern B (back) using 3 mm / US 2.5 / UK 11 needles. 22 sts and 30 rows = 10 cm / 4" in 1x1 ribbing using 3 mm / US 2.5 / UK 11 needles. **Sizes & Measurements of the finished knit** Sizes: XS (S, M, L) (XL, 2XL) Finished bust circumference 101 (110, 119, 128) (137, 146.5) cm 39¾ (43¼, 46¾, 50½) (54, 57¾) inches Total length 50 (50, 56, 56) (62, 62) cm 19¾ (19¾, 22, 22) (24½, 24½) inches Sleeve length 35 cm for all sizes 13¾ inches Armhole depth 16 (18.5, 18.5, 20.5) (23, 25.25) cm 6¼ (7¼, 7¼, 8) (9, 10) inches In the photos, the sweater is shown in size Medium with 32 cm / 12½ inches of positive ease at the bust. **How to wash** Always handwash and lay flat to dry — Handle with care and make sure to stretch your knit to measurements while wet
