This is a printed pattern in Swedish.
The Weekend Sweater is knitted from the top down. First, the top of the back is knitted back and forth with shortened rows, so that a slope is formed on the shoulders. Then the shoulder sections are knitted, which are then joined at the front to knit the front piece. The front piece and back are then joined to form the body, which is knitted in the round on circular needles. The sleeves are knitted from picked up sts along the armhole and knitted in the round on circular needles and double pointed needles or with Magic Loop technique. The ribbed edge at the neck is knitted last.
Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the right tension.
Size guide
Weekend Sweater should have a range of motion ( positive ease) of approx. 30 cm in relation to your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement, measured directly on the 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. For example, if you measure 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 120 cm and will in the example given give a range of movement ( positive ease ) of 30 cm.
