Celeste Sweater Man

Celeste Sweater Man is knitted from the top down with a round yoke. First, a folded neck edge is knitted, and then the yoke is knitted in the round in pattern with 5 different colors according to the diagram. Reverse rows are knitted according to the pattern of the yoke to knit the back higher and thus create a good fit. The body and sleeves are knitted in the round in stocking stitch and both are finished with a rib edge.

Please note that pattern knitting often requires a needle size 0.5-1 mm thicker than solid color stocking stitch. Therefore, make a knitting sample in both pattern knitting and solid color stocking stitch before you start.

Size guide

Celeste Sweater Man should have room to move ( positive ease) of approx. 10-15 cm in relation to your chest measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a chest measurement measured on your own body of 86-91 (91-96) 96-101 (101-107) 107-113 (113-119) 119-124 (124-132) 132-144 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to assess which size will fit best. For example, if you measure 103 cm around the chest (or the widest part of the body), you should knit a size L. A sweater in size L has an upper width of 119 cm and in the example given will provide a positive ease of movement of 16 cm.
