PetiteKnit Linea Sweater pattern

PetiteKnit Linea Sweater is a lovely sweater with a high collar.

The knitting pattern is a high-quality A5-sized print magazine in Finnish .

Linea Sweater is knitted from the top down. The upper part of the back piece is knitted flat and shaped with shortened rows. The shape is emphasized by a contrasting stripe along the cast-on edge. The shoulders and front piece are knitted starting from the stitches picked up from the stripe. The sleeves are knitted from the stitches picked up from the armholes. Finally, the stitches are picked up for the collar, which is knitted in rib.
Make a sample patch first so you know how to choose the right needle size. Wet and stretch the patch before measuring.

Size selection guide

The shirt has about 30 cm of allowance, which means that its circumference should be about 30 cm larger than your chest circumference. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to correspond to 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 stated on the front page of the pattern. Measure yourself before starting work so that you can choose the right size. Example: if your chest circumference (or the widest part of your upper body) is 95 cm, choose size M. The chest circumference of a size M shirt is 127 cm, which means that in this case there would be 32 cm of allowance.
