Description

Yarn package for the Holiday Pullover from PetiteKnit.

The Holiday sweater vest is a chunky knit sweater vest with a deep armhole that is knitted in stockinette stitch from top to bottom.

The back is worked first, then the shoulders and front, and finally the torso. A two-part cuff edge is knitted at the bottom of the body, with the edge on the back being longer than on the front.

Finally, the finishing cuffs are knitted along the neckline and around the armholes, which are cast off using the Italian method, as this produces the cleanest result.

Size guide

The holiday sweater should have a freedom of movement ( positive ease) of approx. 6 cm in relation to your chest circumference.
The sizes 130 (130-140) 140-150 cm.

Measure yourself before you start knitting to make sure you have chosen the correct size for you. For example, if your chest circumference measures 90 cm (or the widest part of your torso), you should choose Choose size S because the chest circumference is 96 cm.

If you want a slightly oversized sweater vest, you can knit one size larger than usual.
