Inga Krusiduller Sweater is a simple raglan sweater with a deeper neckline at the front. The fit is a bit oversize, but the wide elastic edges and the slightly shorter length give the sweater a feminine cut. Inga Krusiduller Sweater is knitted from the top down, so it is recommended to try the sweater on while you are sewing, so you can adjust the length of the sleeves and body that suits you. If you want to keep the tight neckline, you can sew in a thin elastic thread along the elastic edge.
Make a sample to find the needle size that gives the right tension.
Size guide
Inga Krusiduller Sweater should have a positive ease of movement of around 15 cm in relation to your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL correspond to a bust measurement of around 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the knitting tension is maintained). Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size you should choose. Example: You measure yourself with a tape measure around your chest (or stomach, if that is the widest part of your body) to 93 cm. This corresponds to you knitting a size M. A sweater in size M has an upper width of 108 cm and in the above example will provide a range of movement ( positive ease ) of 15 cm.
Sizes: XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL
Overwidth: 100 (104) 108 (114) 120 (130) 137 cm
Center back length: 52 (54) 55 (56) 58 (60) 62 cm
Knitting strength: 21 stitches x 28 rows in stocking stitch on 4 mm needles = 10 x 10 cm
Knitting suggestions: Circular needles 3 mm and 4 mm (40 cm and 80 or 100 cm), double pointed needles 3 mm and 4 mm
Yarn: 250 (250) 300 (300) 350 (350) 350-400 g Sunday from Sandnes Garn (50 g = 235 m) together with 125 (125) 150 (150) 175 (175) 175-200 g Tilia from Filcolana (Mustard 136) or Silk Mohair from Isager (25 g = 212 m) or Thin Silk Mohair from Sandnes Garn (25 g = 212 m) or Kid Seta from Gepard.
Knitting without mohair? Feel free to replace a strand of silk mohair with Alpaca 1 from Isager (50 g = 400 m), Alpakka follower thread from Sandnes (50 g = 400 m) or Alva from Filcolana (25 g = 175 m). Then calculate so that you have the same number of meters as the original yarn. So if you need 125 grams of silk mohair (let's count at 210 meters for simplicity's sake), you need 5x210 meters = 1050 meters. This corresponds to 3 balls of Alpaca 1 or Alpakka follower thread, or 6 balls of Alva.
