LUNA SWEATER

The Luna Sweater is knitted top down with textured knit. First, the upper part of the back is knitted with increases. Then pick up stitches for the shoulders, which are gathered at the front to form the front piece. The front and back piece are gathered under the armhole to form the body, which is knitted straight down on circular needles. The sleeves are knitted in the round on circular needles from the picked up stitches at the armhole. Finally, knit a ribbed edge at the neck.

Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the right gauge. You can make a swatch according to the diagram in the pattern.

Size selection: Luna Sweater should have a positive ease of approximately 20 cm in relation to your chest measurement. Measure yourself before you start knitting to assess which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 85 cm around your chest (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A sweater in size S has a width of 105 cm and in the example mentioned will give a positive ease of 20 cm.
