Additional Information
ONCE UPON (A TIME) SWEATER KNITTING PATTERN
Once upon a time there was a beautiful sweater that tells of spring and summer adventures. With grass, flowers, clouds and sun. Perfect to take with you into autumn and darkness. The diagram is knitted with the interstice technique for the best possible result. The front and back pieces are knitted separately, from the bottom up, back and forth. Knit together at the sides afterwards. The sleeves are knitted from the top down. Feel free to use leftover yarn for small details. The sweater can be worn both ways. Pictured here in ML.
FIT
Range of motion is approximately +15-20 cm from chest measurement/upper width for a loose fit. Measure your upper width (over the chest or widest point of the upper body) – if your upper width is, for example, 89 cm, size XS-S will fit best (range of motion of 21 cm). Can also be used with a narrower fit or slightly oversized – choose what suits you. On the model pictured approximately + 30 in upper width. Choose size according to upper width measurement or desired fit. Compare measurements with a sweater you already wear and like the fit. Note – correct measurements require that the knitting tension is observed.
