Daisy Sweater

The Daisy Sweater is a classic raglan sweater with a large floral pattern. The sweater is worked using two colours, and the third colour is added at the end using duplicate stitch. The sweater is worked top-down with a folded neckband, short-row shaping at the neck, and increases along the sleeves and body. **Difficulty:** ★★★★★ **Sizes:** XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) **Width:** 74 (87) 99 (112) 124 (137) 149 (161) 174 (186) cm. The sweater is designed with an ease of 10 to 20%. This means that you should choose a size where the width is 10 to 20% larger than the widest part of your upper body. **Length:** 48 (48) 54 (54) 54 (54) 60 (60) 60 (60) cm (excl. the neckband). **Suggested yarn:** Colour A: 150 (150) 200 (200) 200 (250) 250 (300) 300 (300) g Tvinni by Isager Garn (255m/50g) **or** 150 (150) 150 (200) 200 (250) 250 (250) 300 (300) g Saga by Filcolana (300m/50g).

Colour C: 50 g Tvinni by Isager Garn (255m/50g) **or** 50 g Saga fra Filcolana (300m/50g). **Gauge:** 29 stitches x 29 rounds on 4 mm needles – or whichever needed to obtain gauge – in stranded knitting = 10 x 10 cm after washing and blocking. NB: as the sweater is worked in the round, it is very important that the gauge is also worked in the round. **Suggested needles:** 4 mm circular needles (40 and 80 or 100 cm) and 3 mm circular needles (40 and 80 or 100 cm). *Please note* that sizes XXS, and 2XL through 5XL have not been testkitted. They have been released with the pattern to remove the hurdle of having to ask or commit to a testknit. However, if you have experience with colourwork and are interested in testing one of the sizes, feel free to contact katrin@solvaraknitwear.com.
