The Frognerseter sweater is worked in the round from the bottom up with raglan decreases on the yoke. Body and sleeves are worked separately to the armholes and then joined on the circular needle for the yoke. The neckline is shaped by working back and forth while binding off stitches. Stitches for a double-folded or turtleneck collar are picked up along the edge of the head opening and worked in rib.

Begin by working a swatch to determine which needle size you need to achieve the correct gauge. Wash and block the swatch before taking measurements.

Size guide
Choose a size that is 15-20 cm larger than your chest width.
If you are making the sweater for a man, work the body and sleeves longer than in the pattern. It can be wise to use the measurements from a different sweater with the correct size. You may need additional yarn.
