Wild Wild Sweater
The sweater is worked top-down in double rib, and is seamless. The neckline is worked double length, and are knitted into the work. The sweater is worked longer in the back with the technique German Short Rows. At the same time you increase in pairs a total of 4 times per row. Classic raglan is also used to achieve the required number of stitches. The sweater is worked flat until the stitches for the sleeves are put to rest. Then the front piece and back piece is worked together, and the rest of the sweater is worked in rounds.
When you reach the desired length on the body, you bind-off with italian bind-off. Then work the sleeves in double rib until desired length.
Then knit the flap to hide the zipper, from the resting stitches. This way the zipper will look nice from the wrong side as well as the right side. Finally, sew the zipper by hand.
Feel free to make a gauge swatch to make sure the sweater will fit nicely. The gauge in this pattern is measured after rinsing.

Sizes
Wild, wild sweater has a snug fit. The measurements are given when the rib isn’t stretched. It will adjust to the body (probably approx 15-20 cm), but this will not ruin the expression. The sizes correspond to ordinary European sizes. If you wish to make this sweater for a man, go up a size, ie a medium to a man is a female L.
