THE PATTERN

Honey Sweater is worked top-down, first making the shoulders on the back piece, and then the front piece. The back piece and front piece are joined under the holes for the sleeves, to make the body. The body is worked in rounds, and has splits on each side. Then you are going to pick up stitches to work the sleeves, that are worked with the same structure as the body. The whole sweater is worked by diagram, except for the ribbing, which is worked through the back loops only. This will give a nice, clear definition of the ribbing.
At the very end, you are going to pick up stitches around the neck, and make a nice and long structured neckline.
The Honey Sweater is made with Peruvian together with Tilia, or other yarn in the similar DK weight.
Other yarns I would suggest is Peer Gynt/Smart from Sandnes Garn, or Drops Lima/Karisma or Highland wool from Viking Garn together with a lace weight yarn, such as Thin Silk Mohair, Alva from Filcolana or Alpaca lace from Sandnes Garn.

Make a gauge swatch before starting. Please notice that the gauge is measured after the sweater is rinsed.


Size guide

Honey sweater should have a positive ease of 20 cm in relation to your bust circumference. Bust circumference of approx. 80 - 90 (90 - 100) 100 - 120 (120 - 140) cm corresponds to sizes XS/S (M/L) XL/2XL (3XL/4XL). This means that if you measure approx. 95 cm around your bust, you should knit size 2. Measure yourself before starting. The sizes correspond to standard european sizes.
The sweater is somewhat oversized, so pick a smaller size if you are in doubt or want a sweater that is not oversized.
