Terracotta Sweater

Description

fOTOS, design and text © le knit (Lene Holme Samsoe)

The Terracotta Sweater impresses with Jacquard borders and small structural patterns on a smooth right-hand surface. So the sweater is fun to knit – without being too difficult.

Note: The entire sweater is knitted in two threads, i.e. 1 thread per quality.
Wash the gauge before you measure it. Make sure that the gauge is the same in width (22 M to 10 cm), regardless of whether you are knitting in a single color, in a structural pattern or multi-colored pattern.

Konstruktion
The Terracotta Sweater is worked from top to bottom. First, the upper part of the back is made from the shoulder slopes downwards to the arm cutout. Subsequently, stitches for the upper part of the front are picked up along the rear shoulder bevels. The shoulder bevels of the front are formed with shortened rows. Then the neck cutout is formed and the two front sides are connected and knitted to below the arm cutouts. Once the upper part of the front and rear is completed, both parts are folded together on a needle and the fuselage is worked in rounds on a circular knitting needle. Around the arm cutouts, stitches for the sleeves are picked up, which are also made in rounds from top to bottom. Finally, stitches are picked up around the neckline, the ribbon is knitted and folded onto the inside and sewn tightly.

Größenwahl
The Terracotta Sweater is designed with a range of movement (positive ease) of 20-28 cm. The depicted version has a range of movement of about 25 cm, i.e. that the sweater is shown on a model that has a 25 cm smaller breast circumference than the sweater. Take measurement from your chest circumference (or the widest part of your upper body) and choose the size based on it (the front shows the finished dimensions of the sweater). The positive ease is the difference between the finished knit piece and your measurements.
For example, if your breast circumference is 94 cm, you get a Gr. S/M has a range of movement of 26 cm (120 cm – 94 cm = 26 cm). * The length is measured centrally on the back, including the neck lining.
