JURI Sweater

The JURI Sweater is a simple raglan sweater with a stand-up collar, a basic piece that is easy to combine and belongs in every wardrobe. The sweater is worked seamlessly top down in the round in Half Fisherman’s rib, with the "wrong" side of the HFR-pattern being the front. First, the double stand-up collar is worked. Then work is continued in the round and increases are made for the shoulders, body and sleeves. After the raglan increases are completed, the work is divided and the body and sleeves are finished separately. Since the sweater is knitted top down, it is possible (and advisable) to try it on while knitting, so the length of the body and sleeves can be adjusted individually. Techniques used: Provisional CO, Half Fisherman’s rib worked with yarn overs, left- and right leaning increases (knitwise and purlwise), double decreases, binding off acc to the ‚Italian BO Method‘. **Sizes** XS (S) M (L) XL (XXL) Measurements: Chest circumference: 98 (104) 110 (122) 128 (136) cm / 38.6 (41) 43.3 (48) 50.4 (53.5)” Length (without collar): 51 (53) 53 (56) 56 (59) cm / 20 (20.9) 20.9) 22 (22) (23.2)” Length underarm: 41 (42) 43 (44) 44 (44) cm / 16.1 (16.5) 17 (17.3) 17.3 (17.3)” The sweater must have a 'positive ease' of approx. 10 - 15 cm in relation to the body.
