Tistel

CONSTRUCTION The Tistel Sweater is knitted seamlessly from the top down. It is a short and straight sweater, with long sleeves and a slight raise of the back neckline. The neck, sleeve cuffs and bottom of the sweater are ribbed. The yoke, hem and lower sleeves are worked in a textured colourwork pattern; the fit gives it a timeless look, light and sturdy at the same time. Tistel is knitted in rustic, yet soft Romney Lambs wool. The perfect match between yarn and pattern. There are four charts in the pattern: Chart A for the neckline, Chart B for the yoke, Chart C for the lower part of the body and Chart D for the lower sleeves. All charts are read from the bottom up, from right to left. SIZE 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) Recommended ease: Choose a size with approx. -2,5 to +2.5 cm / -1 to +1" of ease.
