Marble Sweater

Marble is a chunky sweater that is knitted from top to bottom with raglan openings on the yoke. The neckline is worked down, and double crochets are worked in the neck to create a neckline.

Size guide

Marble Sweater should have a room for movement ( 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 (note that these measurements only apply if the knitting tension is observed). 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 109 cm and, in the example mentioned, will provide a room for movement ( positive ease ) of 19 cm.
