Her er oversættelsen:

Tobber is my nickname for my husband (with all my love), who very much enjoys it when I knit for him. Tobber is quite tall and has long arms. Therefore, it does not matter that the gauge has a good number (15 sts = 10 cm!) . On the other hand, he is active, so it is good that Elena yarn is a cotton/silk blend that he can bear to wear… even when he cycles to the train station.

The model is worked top down according to Susie Myers’ contiguous concept, and it is a model I have knitted many, many times. My model after Susie M concept

Tobber is a slim man, but the pattern takes into account that men come in all kinds of shapes. It is especially the arms and the area down over the stomach that can vary a lot. Therefore, in several places in the pattern, there are prompts to try the sweater on and adjust it (with tips also provided).

It uses quite a lot of yarn, as the yarn is held double. Size 3 therefore uses 1300 grams of yarn: 650 grams of each color.
