Ingrid Sweater

The Ingrid Sweater is a beautiful sweater that is knitted from top to bottom with structured knitting. First, knit the back, which is shaped with a double-pointed needle to form a shoulder slope. Stitches are then picked up for the shoulders, which are also shaped with a turning needle to form the shoulder slope. The shoulders are gathered at the front of the piece. Front piece and back are gathered under the armhole and form the body, which is knitted straight down. The sleeves are knitted in the round from gathered stitches in the armhole. The Ingrid Sweater is knitted with structured knit, which consists of three different pattern segments. Between each of these, a segment with a hole pattern is knitted.

Make a knitting test before you start to measure the knitting strength - note that the knitting strength in both height and width must match, so that the measurements given on the front will fit.

Size guide

Ingrid Sweater should have room to move ( positive ease) of approx. 20 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 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) ) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. If, for example, you measure 90 cm around the chest (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A sweater in size S has an excess width of 112 cm and, in the example mentioned, will provide a room for movement ( positive ease ) of 22 cm.
