Spring sweater

**Difficulty:** Medium **ABOUT THE PROJECT** Sometimes spring feels far away. The cold lingers, the wind still bites your cheeks even though the calendar says March, and the colors are still waiting to appear. It was in such a spring that the Spring Sweater was born, I wear it all year long despite the name and I hope you will too. The sweater is knitted top down on needle size 10. First, cast on the collar, then the neck is shaped using short rows. Then make raglan increases, and finally finish the body and sleeves separately. **POSITIVE EASE AND FIT** Spring sweater has a chunky look and approximately 30 cm of positive ease. The sleeves are three-quarter length. **WHAT YOU NEED RECOMMENDED CIRCULAR NEEDLES** 10 mm, 80 & 40 cm **GAUGE** 10 stitches in stockinette stitch on needle size 10 mm (or the needle size you need to hit the gauge) = 10 cm **YARN CONSUMPTION** 450 (500) 550 (600) 650 (700 750 g Air by Drops, 150m/50g (knitted with 2 strands) together with 100 (125) 125 (150) 150 (175) g Brushed Aplaca Silk by Drops, 140m/25g OR 500 (550) 600 (650) 700 (750) g of scrap yarn **SIZES** XS (S) M (L) XL (XXL) **Finished measurements (approx.)** Width 108 (112) 120 (124) 132 (136) cm Length 60 (62) 64 (66) 68 (70) cm **This pattern is also available on my website for Danish customers.**
