This is a printed pattern in Swedish.
The Storm Sweater is knitted from the top down using a structured knit. First, the back is knitted, which is worked with shortened rows to form a shoulder slope. Then, stitches are picked up for the shoulders, which are then joined at the front to continue knitting on the front piece. The front piece and back are in turn joined under the armhole and continue in the body, which is knitted straight down. The sleeves are knitted in the round on double pointed needles or with the Magic Loop technique. A rib edge is knitted at the neck, which is folded double and knitted down. The Storm Sweater is knitted using a structured knit that consists of four different pattern segments.
Make a swatch before you start knitting to measure the gauge – note that the gauge must be correct in both height and width, so that the measurements given on the front are correct. You can make swatches according to diagrams in knitting patterns.
Size guide
The Storm Sweater should have a positive ease of approximately 26 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, measured on the body, 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. Note that these measurements only apply if the knitting tension is maintained. 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 116 cm and in the above example will give a range of movement (positive ease) of 26 cm.
