ENGLISH - SWEATER B

The yarn consumption is indicative, as it depends a lot on the individual's knitting tension.
That's why it's important to make a knitting sample.

Before you get started

Read through the recipe and get a handle on the different methods and abbreviations used along the way. It's a shame to get stuck once you've got a good start.

Always make a knitting test before you start the pattern. You do this by knitting a square piece with the specified stitches and number of rows listed under “knitting tension” in the pattern. Then measure whether the piece is 10cm x 10cm. If it is too small, you can switch to a larger row and vice versa if the piece is too large. This ensures that you end up with a project that matches the size you have chosen as closely as possible. This way you don’t waste valuable knitting time on something you can’t use anyway.

Back

You start with your back.

Cast on 26 (26) 28 stitches on needle size 8. Work in stocking stitch.

You should now start shaping your shoulders. (It is important that you tighten your thread when you knit your 2 loop stitches the first time)

• Knit one row.
• Cast on 2 loop stitches.
• Turn your work around

Then cast on 3 loop stitches on each side a total of 2 (3) 5 times.

Your work now consists of 70 (80) 90 stitches.

Now work stocking stitch back and forth until your piece measures 21 cm from the middle of your back.

Then you should start knitting your pattern.
