A fun, chunky, oversized and cropped sweater knitted sideways! The sweater is recommended to have about 10 cm positive ease. If your chest measurement is 86 cm, you should knit your sweater in size S. The finished sweater will then have a chest measurement of 100 cm.
Hope you like my pattern! – Beate
Short overview of the piece
The starting point for this sweater is the cast on for the right sleeve. Then work your way towards the right shoulder, where you start increasing for the yoke. The pattern includes a separate chart for increases and decreases, which will aid you in your work. The body of the sweater is knitted in separate front and back pieces, which are knitted back and forth. On the top of the shoulder, you bind off for the neckline, and knit the front and back pieces according to the charts. Next, the front and back pieces are joined together, and you can now start the decreases of the yoke and left sleeve. This part of the sweater can be knitted with a circular needle. The final element of the sweater is the left sleeve. The front and back pieces are then sewn together with mattress stitch, and lastly you pick up stitches for the neckband and hem. Good luck!
