PetiteKnit Monday Sweater (FI) - knitting pattern in Finnish

The Monday Sweater is knitted from the top down. The neck ribbing is folded double and the edge is attached by knitting. Raglan increases are made on the yoke, and the back neck is shaped with short rows. The sleeves are knitted in the round using double-pointed needles or circular needles with the magic loop method.

Choosing the right size

Your bust circumference. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80–85 (85–90) 90–95 (95–100) 100–110 (110–120) 120–130 (130–140) 140–150 cm. The finished garment measurements are provided on the first page of the pattern. Measure yourself before starting the project to choose the correct size. Example: if your bust circumference (or the widest part of your upper body) is 90 cm, choose size S. The bust circumference of the size S sweater is 110 cm, meaning there would be 20 cm of positive ease in this case.
