Moby Sweater (Man)

Description

Fotos und Text © PetiteKnit

The Moby Sweater Man is worked from top to bottom in the structure and plait pattern. First is the back, which is knitted with shortened rows to shape the shoulder slopes. Thereafter, stitches for the shoulders are picked up, which are then collected at the front to the front. Front and back are placed under the arm cutouts on a needle, forming the torso that is knitted straight down. The sleeves are made in rounds on a set of double-pointed needles or with the Magic Loop method. The collar is placed double at the end and knitted on the inside.

Knit first a stitch sample to determine the needle size that is correct for you – note that it can vary from yarn to yarn. Wash your gauge before measurement, as the structural pattern in the laundry can grow.

Größenguide
The Moby Sweater Man should have a range of movement (positive ease) of about 10-15 cm in relation to your chest circumference. The sizes XS(S) M(L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL match a breast circumference on the body of 86-91 (91-96) 96-101 (101-107) 107-113 (113-119) 119-124 (124-132) 132-144 cm. The dimensions of the finished sweater can be found on the front of this guide. Take measurements of yourself before you begin the actual knitting to determine the size that suits you best. For example, if your breast circumference (or the widest part of your body) is 103 cm, you should choose size L. A sweater in Gr. L has a breast circumference of 118 cm and in this case would have a range of movement (positive ease) of 15 cm.
