The Pehmo Sweater is knitted top down with raglan increases. The neck is shaped with short rows for a better fit. I’ve used German short rows but you can use the method you prefer. There are no ribbed cuffs, hem or neckband, so all the edges curl up a little bit due to the stockinette stitch. Take that into consideration when deciding the length of the hem and sleeves :)

The sweater is designed with a 15 - 20 cm / 6 - 8 in positive ease. The sample is made in size 3 and my bust is approx. 80 cm / 32 in.

Needles:
6 mm circular needle 60 - 100 cm / 24 - 40” cable, depending on the size you’re making, so the cord is long enough, DPNs for sleeves if you don’t use the magic loop -method. Adjust
needle size to match gauge.

Yarn:
The sweater is knitted with one strand of aran / worsted weight yarn.

The sample is knitted with Drops Air (65% alpaca, 28% polyamide, 7% wool, 150 m / 164 yds
per 50 g) in color 52.

If you’re changing the yarn, I recommend choosing one that’s similar to the Drops Air so the end result stays lightweight and flowy. Other options for blow wool are for example Sandnes
Garn Kos, Viking Garn Alpaca Bris, Majo Puno Fine.
