Additional Information
NORTH LIGHTS SWEATER KNITTING PATTERN
Knitting pattern for a patterned sweater in soft Hip Wool. The sweater has a simple pattern diagram with a focus on colors and color changes - perfect for beginners to multi-colored knitting.
Knit from the bottom up. When the body is finished, divide the sweater into front and back pieces, which are knitted separately. The sleeves are knitted from the top down by knitting up stitches in the sleeve opening. You can also knit together over the shoulders, so that the sweater is completely assembly-free.
Fit: Choose whether you want it a little loose, or narrower/more tight. Models pictured have a positive ease of about 20-25 cm (20-25 cm more than your own chest width). Also great as a narrower model with about 8-12 positive ease. Model is wearing size L.
