Electrine Sweater

Knitting Pattern for an Elegant Sweater with a Romantic Lace Pattern on Body and Sleeves Worked with a Saddle Shoulder Raglan Construction, a Classic Round Neck and i-Cord-Edgings in Sizes XS | S | M (L | XL | 2XL) 3XL | 4XL | 5XL **Structure:** The sweater is worked in stockinette stitch top down in one piece. The bottom edge of the sweater and both sleeves are worked in a beautiful lace pattern and finished off with i-Cord- Edgings. First, the sweater is worked back and forth in rows to shape shoulder and neckline. When the front parts are joined to the round, the sweater is finished in the round. At first, the increases to shape the shoulder take place in every row. After that, only increases for the sleeves and the neckline are worked. Finally, the yoke of the sweater is finished with classic raglan increases – with a higher increase rate on back and front part for a few sizes to ensure the best fit possible around the bust. After separating the sleeves from the body, the body is finished without increases and worked for a few centimeters in stockinette stitch in the round. Finally, you work the beautiful, romantic lace pattern, finished with an i-cord- bind-off at the bottom hem of the sweater. Then, the sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch in the round with a bunch of increases for a wide sleeve shape, emphasizing the romantic Boho look. Finally, the lace pattern is worked at the sleeves and they are bound off with an i-Cord-Edging as well. The fit of the sweater is close to neck and shoulder, but it has little positive ease of 5 to 15 cm around the bust for the most comfortable fit possible. The length of the sweater is relatively short, emphasizing the romantic lace pattern – the highlight of the design. The sleeves are fitted around the upper arm, but they get wider because of the increases shortly before the sleeves are worked in the same lace pattern like the body, creating a romantic Boho look. The i-Cord-Edgings are the perfect addition to the most feminine sweater design I have designed in a while! **Level of difficulty:** advanced  **Materials:** 250 | 250 | 275 (300 | 325 | 325) 350 | 350 | 375 g Como by Lamana Yarns (120m/25 g) 100 | 100 | 125 (125 | 150 | 150) 150 | 150 | 150 g Premia by Lamana Yarns (300m/25 g) Please note: If you use different yarn, check the yardage to be sure you have the right amount of yarn! 4 mm and 3.5 mm circular knitting needles, optional 4mm and 3.5 mm short knitting needles/DPNs for the sleeves Darning needle Stitch markers/left overs **Knitting Tension**: 10x10 cm = 21 sts x 32 rs in stockinette stitch with 2 strands of yarn held together on 4 mm knitting needles (wet blocked) **Measurements:** *Bust Circumference Finished Sweater:* 90,5 | 99,5 | 108,5 (116,5 | 126,5 | 135,5) 144,5 | 153,5 | 162,5 cm with a positive ease of 5 to 15 cm *Length Finished Sweater:* 50 | 50 | 50 ( 50 | 60 | 60 ) 60 | 60 |60 cm - can be adapted individually *Sleeve Length:* 38 cm – can be adapted individually *Sleeve Circumference (Upper Arm):* 25 | 28 | 30 (33 | 36 | 38) 41 | 44 | 48cm Support via e-mail to: support@kolibri-by-johanna.de
