PetiteKnit Caramel Sweater (FI) - knitting pattern in Finnish

The PetiteKnit Caramel Sweater knitting pattern is an A5-sized quality print magazine. The pattern is in Finnish.

The Caramel Sweater is knitted top-down, with raglan increases on the yoke. The sweater has a high rib stand-up collar, and the neck is shaped with short rows at the fold of the collar and yoke. The cuffs and hem are also finished with ribbing. They will be firm even after knitting, but will open up after washing/steaming/blocking. The Caramel Sweater does not require any finishing other than weaving in the ends.

Choosing the size

The PetiteKnit Caramel Sweater is designed with approximately 10-15 cm of positive ease, meaning it should be 10-15 cm larger than your actual bust circumference. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL are designed for a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm. You can find the measurements of the finished sweater on the first page of the pattern (note that to achieve these measurements, your knitting gauge must be correct). Before you begin, measure your bust circumference at the widest point to decide which size fits you best. For example, if your bust circumference or the widest part of your upper body is 90 cm, choose size S. The bust circumference of a size S sweater is 99 cm, which means 9 cm of positive ease.
