Description

This pattern is in English.

Aros Sweater is worked from the top down. First the yoke is worked back and forth on circular needles. while the neckline is being shaped. then the work is joined to be worked in the round. The yoke is constructed with shoulder increases on both right side and wrong side rows on the first section. On the next section increases are worked on the sleeves only. and on the final section classic raglan increases are worked on both body and sleeves. The rib neck edge is worked at the end from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the neck edge. The neck edge is folded and sewn over. The sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or on long circular needles using the Magic Loop technique.

Aros Sweater has stripes in 5 different colors. The sweater can also be worked in one color or in stripes in fewer colors.

Start by knitting. washing and blocking a swatch to determine which needle size gives you the correct gauge.

If you want to knit an Aros Dress instead of an Aros Sweater. extend the body of the sweater simply to dress length (read about yarn estimates to make a dress of your desired length in the Materials section on the front page).

Size guide

Aros Sweater is designed to have approx. 6 cm 2 inches of positive ease. meaning it is designed to be 6 cm 2 inches larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm 31-33 (33-35) 35-37 (37-39) 39-43 (43-47) 47-51 inches. The measurements for the finished garment are on the front page of the pattern (note that these measurements are only achieved if the design is knitted in the correct gauge). Before beginning your project. measure yourself with a measuring tape around your bust or your widest upper body part to determine which size will fit you the best. For example. if you measure 90 cm 35 inches around your bust (or around the widest part on your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S sweater has a bust circumference of 95 cm 37 inches which in the given example would give you 5 cm 2 inches of positive ease.

If you extend the sweater to dress length. the ease around the hips should be 0 cm 0 inches or more.
