This is a printed pattern in Swedish.
Stockholm Sweater V-neck is knitted top down in stockinette stitch with double thread silk mohair. First, knit the top of the back, then pick up stitches for the shoulder sections along the cast-on edge of the back. The shoulder sections are worked separately with shortened rows, so that a wedge is formed. The front and back pieces are joined under the armhole, and the body is worked in the round on circular needles. Along the armholes, pick up stitches for the sleeves, which are worked in the round on double pointed needles or with Magic Loop . Finally, stitches are picked up along the neck opening, where a rib edge is knitted with decorative decreases on the right side at the tip of the V-neck and corresponding increases on the wrong side. This neck edge is finally folded down and sewn to the wrong side. The Stockholm Sweater V-neck is therefore assembly-free with the exception of the folded edge of the neck.
Make a sample to find the needle size that gives the right tension.
Size guide
Stockholm Sweater V-neck should have a range of motion ( positive ease) of approx. 15 cm in relation to your bust measurement (i.e. the sweater should be approx. 15 cm larger than you in circumference). The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement of approx. 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size fits you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S, which has an upper width of 105 cm. This gives you a range of motion of 15 cm.
Please note that there are decreases on the body, and that the sweater therefore measures approx. 5 cm less around the hips than around the bust. You can omit these decreases if you do not want the sweater to taper at the bottom.
