This is a printed pattern in Swedish.
The Marseille Sweater is knitted from the top down. First, the top of the back is knitted back and forth, and the shoulder slope is shaped with shortened rows to get a good fit. Then the shoulder sections are also knitted with shortened rows, each separately back and forth on circular needles. The shoulder sections are joined at the front to form the front piece. The front piece and back piece are then joined to form the body, which is knitted in the round on circular needles. The sleeves are knitted from picked-up stitches along the armhole, and they are given a slope using shortened rows. The sleeves are knitted in the round on circular needles and double pointed needles or with Magic Loop technique. The neck rib is finally knitted out from picked up stitches, and it is folded double and finally knitted down. The Marseille Sweater is knitted with stripes, and the placement of these is indicated in the pattern.
Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the right tension.
Size guide
Marseille Sweater should have a range of motion ( positive ease) of approx. 25 cm in relation to your bust measurement. The fit is oversize. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement, measured on your own body, of 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. If you e.g. measures 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A sweater in size S has an upper width of 115 cm and in the above example will give a range of movement ( positive ease ) of 25 cm.
