Description

Yarn package for the Marseille Sweater from PetiteKnit.

The maritime classic reinterpreted.

The Marseille Sweater will immediately make you dream of small fishing villages and the big, wide sea!

The sweater is knitted from top to bottom again.

First, the upper part of the back is worked in rows, while the shoulder slopes are shaped with shortened rows for the ideal fit.

The shoulders are then knitted separately with short rows on a circular needle before being gathered onto one needle for the front. The front and back are closed in the round and form the body, which is then knitted in the round on a circular needle.

The sleeves are knitted from picked up stitches around the armholes and are given a slant through shortened rows. They are made in the round on a circular knitting needle using double pointed needles or the Magic Loop technique. The neck cuff is knitted last from the picked up stitches, doubled and knitted on the inside.

The Marseille Sweater is knitted with stripes, the placement of which is described in the instructions.

When choosing the size, allow 25cm of freedom of movement compared to your chest circumference - the sweater has an oversize cut.

Size Guide

The Marseille Sweater should have a range of motion (positive ease) of approx. 25 cm in relation to your chest circumference. The cut is oversized. Sizes 120-130 (130-140) 140-150cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are on the front. Before you actually start knitting, measure yourself to determine the size that fits you best. If your chest circumference (or the widest part of your body) measures 90 cm, you should choose size S. A sweater in S has a chest circumference of 115 cm and in this case would have a positive ease of 25 cm.
