Daisy Sweater Chunky

The Daisy Sweater Chunky 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 short-row shaping at the neck and increases along the sleeves and body. The pattern contains instructions for a turtleneck and folded neckband. **Difficulty:** ★★★★★ **Sizes:** XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) **Width:** 92 (100) 108 (120) 132 (144) 158 (170) 180 (196) cm. The sweater is designed with an ease of 15 to 25%. This means that you should choose a size where the width is 15 to 25% larger than your widest upper body measurement. **Length:** 51 (51) 51 (51) 51 (60) 60 (60) 60 (60) cm (excl. the folded neckband). **Suggested yarn:** Colour A: 350 (400) 400-450 (450) 500 (500) 550 (600) 650 (700) g Fivel by Rauma Garn (100m/50g).

Colour C: 50 g Fivel by Rauma Garn (100m/50g). **Gauge:** 20 stitches x 20 rounds on 6 mm needles – or whichever needed to obtain gauge – in stranded knitting = 10 x 10 cm after washing and blocking. 20 stitches on 4.5 mm needles – or whichever needed to obtain gauge – in 2x2 ribbing = 10 cm after washing and blocking. NB: as the sweater is worked in the round, it is very important that the gauge swatch is also worked in the round. **Suggested needles:** 6 mm circular needles (40 and 80 or 100 cm) and 4.5 mm circular needles (40 and 80 or 100 cm). *Please note* that sizes 4XL and 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.
