PetiteKnit No Frills Sweater pattern

The PetiteKnit No Frills Sweater pattern is an A5-sized high-quality print magazine. The pattern is available in both English and Finnish .

The pattern uses Sandnes Garn's Sunday and Tynn Silk Mohair yarns. Tynn Silk Mohair yarn can also be used alternatively replace with Kremke Soul Wool's Silky Kid yarn.

The No Frills sweater is a simple raglan sweater with a neckline shaped by shortened layers. The style is a bit loose, but the wide ribbed edges and shorter length give a feminine silhouette. The No Frills sweater is knitted from the top down, which makes it easy to adjust the sweater while it is still in the work. By adjusting the length of the sleeves and hem, you can get a sweater that fits your body perfectly. You can sew a thin elastic band to the neckline edge if you want to ensure that the ribbed edge keeps its shape when worn.

Start by knitting a sample patch, which will help you estimate which needle size will achieve the correct knitting density.

Size guide

The No Frills sweater has a 15 cm allowance, meaning the model's bust is intended to be 15 cm larger than your measured bust. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL are designed to fit a bust of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the first page of this pattern (please note that the measurements of the finished sweater will only match the measurements given in the pattern if the knitting density is correct). To find the correct size, measure the widest part of your upper body (bust) with a measuring tape before starting. Example: if your bust is 93 cm, I recommend that you knit size M. The bust measurement given in the pattern for size M is 108 cm, which for this example means 15 cm of allowance.
