Inge Sweater
Inge Sweater has a clear reference to the
style of the 60s and 70s, but also to even
earlier knitting traditions. This makes the
Inge Sweater a modern classic that is easy
to personalize with the colors you choose
to knit it in.

Size guide
The Inge Sweater is meant to have a positive ease of 12-18 cm 4.75-7”, depending on how loose-fitting you would like it to be. Picture shows a sweater with a positive ease of 15 cm 6”. Find your personal bust circumference by measuring around your chest (or the largest part of your upper body). Then look at the measurements at the beginning of the pattern (these are the finished measurements of the sweater). Positive ease is the difference between your personal measurement and the sweater’s measurement. For example, if your bust circumference is 94cm 37”, a size M will give you a positive ease of 15 cm 6”. (109 cm - 94 cm = 15 cm). 43” - 37” = 6”
Construction
The sweater is worked from the top down. Start with the neckline, and at the end of the neckline, short rows are worked on each shoulder. After the neckline, short rows are
worked on each side of the front piece, and at the same time, raglan increases are made.Then, work the yoke in the color pattern with raglan increases. Finishing the body and
sleeves separately. That means the pattern is worked only on the right side.
