PetiteKnit – Scotty Sweater
This is a printed pattern in Swedish. The pattern is only sent if you buy at least 2 balls of yarn at the same time. We reserve the right to cancel orders that do not comply with this.
The Scotty Sweater is knitted from top to bottom in stockinette stitch with one thread of Spinni and two threads of Silk Mohair, or with yarn that provides the same knitting strength. First the back piece is knitted, then the shoulders, the front piece and finally the torso. Along the sleeve openings, stitches are picked up to knit hollow sleeves with shortened rows. Stitches are picked up along the neckline to an elastic edge, which is finally folded and sewn to the wrong side. The Scotty Sweater is assembly-free except for the folding of the neckline. The squares on the Scotty Sweater are finally embroidered with a mesh stitch. Make a test patch to get the right stitch strength.
Size guide
The Scotty Sweater should have a range of motion (positive ease) of approx. 10 cm in relation to your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL correspond to a bust measurement of around 85 (90) 95 (100) 110 cm. Measure yourself before you start knitting, to judge which size fits you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around the bust (measure yourself with a tape measure), you should knit a size S, where you have an excess width of 99 cm. If you are in between two sizes, choose the smaller size.
