Sizes: 1 (2) 3 (4) 5 (6) 7 (8) 9 (10) ● Level: 2/5 ● The Sanna turtleneck embodies quiet luxury. Thanks to the gorgeous, subtle glow of the angora yarn, it turns heads without screaming for attention. In fact, a grey turtleneck is a true cornerstone of any style icon’s capsule wardrobe. To complement its minimalist elegance, pair it with relaxed-fit jeans and a baseball cap
to hide under whenever you feel like it. When the yarn takes centre stage, every single detail must be meticulously considered. The shoulder seams and the narrow double-knit stripe along the neckline make the sweater look just as impeccably finished as
a piece from a high-end boutique. The Sanna sweater has a slightly cropped, close-fitting silhouette. If you want it to layer snugly under
a blazer, consider knitting one size smaller than what is normally recommended for your measurements.

CHOOSING YOUR SIZE

The sweater is designed with 0–15 cm / 0–6” of positive ease at the bust, meaning the fit is intentionally slim. Measure your own bust circumference, add 0–15 cm / 0–6” and find the closest size in the size chart. You can also measure a favorite slim-fit sweater you already own and find the matching size. It’s also worth measuring your preferred sleeve width at the upper arm. Sleeve and hem length can easily be adjusted to taste. If you prefer a longer sleeve, you will need more yarn.

CONSTRUCTION

The sweater is worked from the top down. First, the back piece is worked flat with a European shoulder structure. Stitches for the front pieces are picked up from the shoulder seams and worked down to the underarms, after which the body is joined in the round. Sleeve stitches are picked up from the armholes and worked in the round with sleeve decreases. All edges are finished with a tubular bind-off. The neckline features a decorative double-knitted edge, followed by a polo collar in your preferred style.
