Knitted Streets of Copenhagen is an Oversized sweater inspired by old Copenhagen's narrow and winding streets. This big and chunky sweater showcases both curves and straight lines, and it is both casual and sophisticated at the same time – just like Copenhagen is to us. The sweater is very oversized with extra long sleeves, but the sleeves can easily be made shorter if that is your preference.
It is worked from the top down following charts and using 2 Strands of Heavy Merino + 2 Strands of Soft Silk Mohair held together throughout. You start working the front and back, back and forth, before work is joined and continued in the round for the body and sleeves.
Knitted Streets of Copenhagen is designed with positive ease. To choose the correct size, look at the 'to fit chest circumference' measurements on the previous page. If your actual chest circumference is, say, 98 cm [38½”], you should choose to knit a size 2 in order to achieve the intended fit.
