Monochrome Vintage Sweater

*To celebrate the pattern launch, I've priced this pattern at 2.48 € (before tax), the same cost as my favorite Finnish K-market pistachio croissant that I enjoy for breakfast! This special launch price is valid until May 19, 23:59 EET. Thank you for buying me breakfast !* The inspiration for Monochrome Vintage Sweater came from a striking vintage black velvet blouse displayed in a shop window, featuring an exaggerated white lace collar. This elegant contrast sparked the vision for a black Icelandic sweater adorned with a petal-like, intricate monochrome yoke. This sweater is knitted seamlessly from the top down with featured design elements: * The beginner-friendly German Short Rows technique elongates the back collar for an improved fit, though this step can be easily skipped if preferred. * Side splits enhance the feminine silhouette, creating a flattering and comfortable garment. Monochrome Vintage is designed to become your go-to piece for effortless, minimalistic elegance with timeless appeal. **Size** 10 sizes (finalized bust circumference after blocking) are provided: XS1 (92 cm), XS2 (97 cm), S1 (101 cm), S2 (103 cm), M1 (108 cm), M2 (112 cm), L1 (114 cm), L2 (119 cm), XL1 (121 cm), XL2 (126 cm). The model is knitted in size XS1 for an oversized fit (160cm height, 50kg weight, 88cm chest circumference/75A). **Yarns and gauge** The sweater uses classic Icelandic Léttlopi yarn (100% new wool, 50g/100m) worked on 4mm needles to achieve a gauge of 18 stitches and 24 rows per 10cm square after blocking. * Léttlopi 0051 White * Léttlopi 0005 Black Heather **Needles** * 4mm circular needles for the yoke, main body, body hems and sleeves * 3mm circular/ double pointed needles for collar and the sleeve ribs I hope this unique design becomes your new favorite item:) Happy knitting !
