ROBINIA LIGHT is a soft and feminine sweater with an elegant, multi-colored pattern. The sweater is worked from top to bottom, first in rows over front and back, then both parts are closed to the body and knitted in rounds. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up on the arm cutouts, which are ended with ribs in the entangled rib pattern. Both on the front and back as well as on the sleeves, shortened rows are made to give the sweater the perfect fit.

It is very different how much freedom of movement you want to achieve on your knitted piece. Take some of your favorite sweaters. So the decision regarding the appropriate size may be easier for you. I have decided for my ROBINIA LIGHT for a range of movement of 28 cm.
