Summer Soft

**SUMMER SOFT** is worked in stockinette stitch and features a simple silhouette and a slightly forward-tilted shoulder line. The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. First, the rib neck is worked in the round. Then, short rows are worked to shape the neckline, before the yoke is worked in the round until the total shoulder width is achieved. The work is then divided into a front and back yoke, which are worked back and forth. After this, stitches are picked up and knitted along the armholes, and the work is again joined to be worked in the round to the bottom of the armholes. Here, the work is divided into body and sleeves. The body is worked in the round and finished with a lightly curved hem and a rib edge. The sleeves are also worked in the round and finished with a rib edge at the cuff. As the sweater is worked from the top down, it is easy to adjust the length of the body and sleeves along the way to fit you perfectly. **Sizes** Sizes: 1 (2) 3 (4) 5 (6) 7 (8) Bust circumference: 109 (115) 121 (127) 133 (139) 145 (151) cm Hip circumference: 101 (107) 113 (119) 125 (131) 137 (143) cm Length mid back: 58 (58) 59 (59) 60 (60) 61 (61) cm Sleeve length: 46 (45) 44 (43) 43 (43) 43 (43) cm The measurements listed above are for the finished sweater. The amount of positive ease you like in your clothes varies from person to person. To help you choose which size to knit, measure one or more of your favorite sweaters so you can compare the measurements to those listed above. My own Summer Soft has 38 cm of positive ease. Generally, I would recommend 20-40 cm of positive ease, depending on the look and fit you want. **Needles** 3 mm circular needle, 40 and 80/120 cm 3.5 mm circular needle, 80/120 cm 4 mm circular needle, 40 and 80/120 cm 3.5 mm double-pointed needles **Gauge** 20 sts × 30 rows in stockinette stitch on a 4 mm needle = 10 × 10 cm **Materials** *Green version* 175 (175) 175 (175) 200 (200) 225 (225) g Isager Soft Fine, fv 37 (63 % alpaca, 26 % silk, 11 % yak; 25 g / 150 m) 250 (250) 250 (250) 300 (300) 300 (300) g Isager Bomulin, fv 43 (65 % cotton, 35 % linen; 50 g / 210 m) – one strand of each yarn are held together throughout *Light version* 175 (175) 175 (175) 200 (200) 225 (225) g Isager Soft Fine, fv E2s (63 % alpaca, 26 % silk, 11 % yak; 25 g / 150 m) 250 (250) 250 (250) 300 (300) 300 (300) g Isager Bomulin, fv 0 (65 % cotton, 35 % linen; 50 g / 210 m) – one strand of each yarn are held together throughout > Knitting support Please write to > support@anneventzel.com if you need > knitting support.
