Caramel Sweater

The Caramel Sweater from PetiteKnit is a nice sweater that is knitted from top to bottom with raglan openings on the yoke. The Caramel Sweater has a long turtleneck in double rib. and the neckline is shaped with the help of turning pins in the transition between the turtleneck and the support piece. Double rib is also knitted on the sleeves and at the bottom of the body. These rib edges will contract first. but subsequently open up in the wash/when steaming/blocking. The Caramel Sweater is assembly-free.

Size guide

The Caramel Sweater should have a room for movement ( positive ease) of 5-10 cm in relation to your chest measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL correspond to a chest measurement measured on your own body of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are indicated on the front of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the knit strength is respected). Measure yourself. before you start knitting. to assess which size. that will suit you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around the chest (or the widest part of your body). should you knit a size S. A sweater in size S has an excess width of 99 cm and in the mentioned example will give a room for movement ( positive ease ) of 9 cm.
