Čiekurs

This design is available exclusively in my new book. [GET “Nordic Textures in Crochet Garments”][1] now - releasing June 20, 2026. Čiekurs is a perfect everyday sweater with a secret. The graphic texture provides a modern, structured look that feels at home in any setting, while the ”revealing” stitch pattern on the sleeves adds an element of play. It is a garment that values details, grounding a simple boxy form with a highly tactile, intelligent surface. **Sizes** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) **Finished bust** 36.5 (41.25, 46, 50.75, 55.5) (60.25, 65, 69.75, 74.5)’’ / 93 (105, 117, 129, 141) (153, 165, 177, 189) cm **To fit bust** 24.5 (29.25, 33.75, 38.5, 43.25) (48, 52.75, 57.5, 62.25)’’ / 62 (74, 86, 98, 110) (122, 134, 146, 158) cm The pattern is designed to fit with 12.25” / 31 cm of positive ease. **Materials** Sport weight yarn, (CYC #2, Fine) Wollbiene Cotton Fun (55% cotton, 45% acrylic), 174 yds / 160 m per 50-g ball, or use any sport weight cotton blend yarn to achieve a similar effect Shown in color: hellbraun (09) **Estimated yardage / meterage** 1325 (1440, 1605, 1925, 2040) (2130, 2155, 2220, 2250) yds / 1210 (1315, 1470, 1760, 1865) (1945, 1970, 2030, 2060) m **Gauge** 6 bars = 3.5’’ / 9 cm 8 bars = 4.75’’ / 12 cm 12 rows = 4.25’’ / 11 cm = 2 repeats over main stitch pattern **Hook** H/8 / 5 mm, or size needed to obtain gauge **Notions** Tapestry needle **Skills required** Experience with reading and following written crochet patterns (CYC standards) Experience with making and sewing up crocheted sweaters **#čiekurssweater** [1]: https://www.bemycozy.com/product/nordic-textures-in-crochet-garments-by-linda-skuja/
