This is a printed pattern in Swedish.
Esther Sweater is knitted from the top down with structured knitting. First, the top of the back is knitted with increases. Then the shoulder sections are knitted from the sts picked up at the top of the back piece. The front piece and back piece are then joined under the armhole to continue knitting the body, which is knitted straight down. The sleeves are knitted in the round on circular needles. Finally, a rib edge is knitted at the neck.
Make a sample to find the needle size that gives you the right tension.
Size guide
Esther Sweater should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 25 cm in the smallest sizes, but gradually less in the larger sizes. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. For example, if you measures 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of the body), you should knit a size S. A sweater in size S has an upper width of 114 cm and in the above example will give a range of movement (positive ease) of 24 cm.
