Yarn kit for the Key Sweater by PetiteKnit.

The Key Sweater is cozy and warm and features an interesting striped pattern. The stripes have a Scandinavian look and interlock with one another. This pattern is not too difficult to knit and looks fantastic.

With its straight cut, the sweater is wonderfully comfortable and invites you to snuggle up.

You knit your Key Sweater seamlessly from the top down in the round with raglan increases, using Peer Gynt and Alpakka Følgetråd by Sandnes Garn. Soft and warm Peer Gynt is made from pure Norwegian wool. The fine Alpakka thread adds pleasant softness and makes the fabric beautifully cozy.

Size guide

The Key Sweater should have approximately 25 cm of positive ease in the smaller sizes, with gradually less ease in the larger sizes. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a chest circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The finished sweater measurements can be found on the cover page. Measure yourself before beginning the actual knitting to determine which size fits you best. If your chest circumference (or the widest point of your body) measures 86 cm, you should choose size XS. A sweater in size XS has a chest circumference of 111 cm and, in this example, would have 25 cm of positive ease.
