PetiteKnit Cloud Sweater pattern

The PetiteKnit Cloud Sweater pattern is an A5-sized high-quality print magazine. The pattern is available in both English and Finnish .

The sweater is knitted with two different yarns. The pattern uses Isager's Silk Mohair and Knitting for Olive's Soft Silk Mohair yarns.

Other yarns suitable for the pattern include Isager's Alpaca 3 yarn, Le Coton & Alpaca yarn from Biches & Bûches, Poppy yarn from Sandnes Garn and Järbon Select no 5 yarn.

The Cloud Sweater is knitted from the top down. First, the back yoke is knitted back and forth and the shoulders are shaped with short rows. Then the shoulders are knitted back and forth separately with short rows. The shoulders are joined to form the front yoke. The front and back pieces are joined at the armpits, and the body is knitted in the round with circular needles. The sleeve stitches are picked up from the armholes and the sleeves are knitted in the round. Finally, the collar is knitted from the stitches picked up from the neckline.
Knit a sample patch before starting to know if the needle size is right.

Size selection guide

The shirt has about 25 cm of slack in the smaller sizes and gradually less in the larger sizes. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a chest circumference of 75–80 (80–85) 85–90 (90–95) 95–100 (100–110) 110–120 (120–130) 130–140 (140–150) cm. The measurements of the finished shirt are given on the front page of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start working so that you can choose the right size. Example: if your chest circumference (or the widest part of your upper body) is 90 cm, choose size S. The chest circumference of a size S shirt is 113 cm, so in this case there would be 23 cm of slack.
