This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

Melange Sweater Man is knitted from the top down. First, the upper part of the back is knitted back and forth and the shoulder slope is shaped using shortened rounds. At the bottom of the back, increases are worked. The shoulder sections are then knitted separately back and forth on a circular needle. These are then brought together at the front to form the front piece. Front piece and back are joined in turn when the body is to be knitted in the round on a circular needle. The sleeves are worked from picked up sts along the armhole and worked around on a circular needle and double pointed needles or with Magic Loop technique. The elastic edge of the neck is worked out from picked up stitches in the neck opening and folded in half and worked down.

Melange Sweater is knitted in two strands of thin wool yarn in contrasting colors to achieve a melange. Knit a test patch to find the stitch size that gives you the right stitch strength.

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.
