Hilda Sweater

The Hilda Sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down with drop shoulders and features stripes with stranded colorwork on the body and sleeves. The back and shoulders are shaped with short rows, and stitches are picked up to work the front. The body is then joined at the underarms and worked in the round. The collar includes a double-knit section, that gives the sweater a clean, polished finish. The pattern includes links to video tutorials for all new techniques. **Sizes** XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL **Bust circumference:** 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm 31.5 33.5 (335-35.5) 35.5-37 (37.5-39.5) 39.5-43.2 (43.2-47.2) 47.2-51.2’’ The sweater has a positive ease of approx. 20-25 cm/ 7.9-9.8" **Measurements (of finished garment):** Bust circumference: 106 (110) 118 (126) 138 (145) 152 cm / 42 (43.3) 46.5 (49.6) 54.3 (57) 60" Length (from center back to hem): 54 (55) 56 (56) 58 (58) 60 cm / 21.3 (21.7) 22 (22) 22.8 (22.8) 23.6" Sleeve length from underarm: 43 cm / 16.9" **Gauge** 19 sts x 26 rows = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4’’ in Stranded Colorwork, worked flat on 4.5 mm (US 7) needles, after blocking. **Yarn** Worsted weight - 200 mts/219 yds per 100g skein 3 (3) 4 (4) 5 (5) 6 skeins in MC 2 (2) 2 (2) 2 (3) 3 skein(s) in CC1 1 (1) 1 (2) 2 (2) 2 skein(s) in CC2 Suggested: Ideal by Manos del Uruguay (100% Polwarth Wool) **Recommended needles** 4.5 mm (US 7) circular needles for body and sleeves 3.75 mm (US 5) circular needles for hem, cuffs and collar 3.00 mm (US 2.5) circular needles for double knitted edge at collar This pattern has been tested.
