The pattern is currently being tested

About the pattern:
This is a raglan sweater knitted top down. The construction includes short rows for neckline shaping. The pattern has detailed instructions with knitting charts and explanatory videos. It also explains in detail how to knit short rows (this isn’t the easiest technique if you’re a beginner, but I hope that with detailed instructions for each size + a video tutorial, it won’t be a problem for you).

Knitting gauge: Stockinette Stitch (3.5 mm needles): 25 sts in 10 cm and 36 rows in 10 cm.

Original yarn: Alpakka Ull Sandnes Garn / Weight: Worsted (9 wpi).
The gauge lends closer to a DK/Sport weight yarn, so you may choose a lighter weight yarn if needed.
The gauge of the pattern with worsted weight yarn (Alpakka Ull) is 25 sts per 10 cm (4 inches). Worsted (9 wpi | 10 ply) weight yarn typically knits to a gauge of 20-22 sts per 10 cm (4 inches). A lot depends on how tightly you knit and how dense or loose you prefer your fabric to be. I lean more towards dense than loose, so I knit tightly with a worsted wight yarn.
DK (11 wpi | 8 ply) weight yarn typically knits to a gauge of 22 sts per 10 cm (4 inches).
Sport (12 wpi | 5 ply) weight yarn typically knits to a gauge of 24–26 sts per 10 cm (4 inches).
Choose yarn based on your preferences and knitting density, but keep in mind that this textured star pattern looks best on dense fabric. The video shows a comparison of how the texture looks on worsted and sport weight yarns with a gauge of 25 sts per 10 cm (4 inches).
By the way, you will probably find it easier to meet the gauge if you use wooden needles instead of metal ones. Wooden needles are less slippery and make it easier to control the density of your knitting (the stitches with wooden needles are smaller than with metal needles), but of course the most important thing is how you knit and your personal preferences.

Needles:
• 3.5 mm (US 4) circular needles with 40 cm needle cord for the collar and sleeves.
• 3.5 mm (US 4) circular needles with 80-120 cm needle cord for the body.
• 3.5 (US 4) double pointed needles for the cuffs (you can use circular needles if you prefer Magic Loop technique).

Skills needed to knit this sweater: Stockinette Stitch, Seed Stitch, cast on (+ loop cast on), pick up stitches, M1R and M1L increase, SSK and K2Tog decreases, short rows.
