SWEATER LAVENDEL - ENG

Sweater Lavendel is worked from the top down. You begin by knitting the back. Stitches are then picked up along the shoulders of the back for the left and right front sections. Both front sections are worked separately back and forth, then joined. The front and back are then joined, and the body is worked in the round. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up around the armholes, and the sleeves are worked in the round. Finally, the neckline is finished with an applied 3-stitch I-cord.

Fit
Lavendel is designed with a roomy and comfortable oversized fit.

The sweater is designed with approximately 30–36 cm of positive ease, depending on the size selected. In the largest sizes, the amount of positive ease has intentionally been reduced slightly to preserve the proportions of the design.

Choose your usual size to achieve the intended fit. If you prefer a less oversized look, you may consider knitting one size smaller.

Gauge:
13 stitches × 20 rows = 10 × 10 cm in stockinette stitch using 7 mm circular needles, measured after washing and blocking.

Needles and notions:

• 7 mm circular needles (60 and 80 cm)
• 6 mm circular needle (40 cm) for the applied I-cord
• 5 mm circular needle for the ribbed edges
• Optional: a set of double-pointed needles or a long circular needle for the Magic Loop technique
• Stitch markers and stitch holders

Yarn requirements and needle sizes are approximate, as they depend greatly on your individual gauge. It is therefore important to knit a gauge swatch before beginning.
