Yarn kit for the Zipper Sweater Light by PetiteKnit.

This classic from PetiteKnit is knitted single strand with Peer Gynt, a simple yet beautiful, classic look.

You knit this beautiful sweater from top to bottom - in one piece. The neckline is ribbed.

You make the yoke with raglan increases - first in rows on the circular knitting needle, then in rounds.

The body and sleeves are also knitted in the round.

Remember to always knit a swatch first.

size guide

The Zipper Sweater Light should have a positive ease of approx. 20 cm in relation to your chest circumference. The fit is oversized. If you want the sweater to have a tighter fit, you can choose a smaller size. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL fit a chest circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater can be found on the front. Measure yourself first before you start knitting to find 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 size S has a chest circumference of 113 cm and in this case would have a range of motion (positive ease) of 23 cm.
