This is a printed pattern in Swedish.
Stripes on the Längden sweater are knitted from the bottom up in a K4, P4 rib pattern. The sleeves are knitted by picking up stitches along the sleeve opening and knitting in the round on a small circular needle or with double pointed needles. Finally, a double rib edge is knitted at the neckline. Stripes on the Längden Sweater is thus almost assembly-free.
As the Stripes on the Length Sweater is knitted in rib pattern, it will shrink a lot while knitting it. To achieve the correct measurements and knitting strength, it is therefore important that the sweater is ironed and/or washed before use. You can iron the sweater with a damp towel (do not iron directly on the sweater unless you have a steam iron specifically for the purpose), while stretching it to the correct measurements (use a tape measure! See the first page for measurements). The sweater will keep this shape if you do it thoroughly and let it dry flat. When the sweater is to be washed, it should be dried flat and stretched to the correct measurements again while it is still damp.
Make a test patch, which you iron to test the knit strength, before you start knitting the sweater.
Size guide
Stripes on the Length 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. Note that the upper width is measured just below the armhole, and that decreases are knitted down along the entire body, so that the sweater narrows a little at the bottom. Measure yourself before you start knitting to find the size that fits you best. If you, for example, 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 114 cm and in the above example will give a range of movement ( positive ease ) of 24 cm.
