Description

Knitting instructions for the PetiteKnit Novice sweater.

The Novice sweater is knitted top down. This means that you start with the neckline, then the yoke, then the body and finally the sleeves. The sweater is worked in stockinette stitch, but the edges are worked in a cuff pattern.

The sizes _ 120-130 (130-140) 140-150cm. The Novice sweater should have a range of motion ( positive ease ) of 5-10 cm. This means, for example, if you measured a chest circumference of 90 cm (measure yourself with a tape measure), you should knit a size S, which has a chest circumference of 98 cm.

The printed instruction booklet is in German.
