Memory sweater (english)

DKK  45,00 
Memory sweater is a perfect project if you want to learn how to knit a pattern with several colors. The pattern is only knitted from the right side, and the pattern is small, which makes it easier to tighten the strands accordingly. At the same time the Memory sweater is a fun way to use your scrap yarns. You literally knit small memories from other projects into it
You can find the relevant instructional videos linked at the bottom of the page.

Pattern is in english.

    Needles
    Circular needles, 40 and 80 cm [16 and 32 inches] and double-pointed needles 4 and 5 mm [US6 and US8].
    If you use magic loop, you do not need double-pointed needles.

    Gauge 1
    8 sts x approx. 22 rows St st with pattern col. = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] on needle size 5 mm [US8].
    18 sts x approx. 24 rows St st with main col. = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] on needle size 5 mm [US8].

    Selecting your size
    The sizing is very flexible. It can work as an oversized sweater or as a more fitted sweater. Therefore, decide how much positive ease you prefer when selecting what size to make. Choose the size with a circumference of 12-18 cm [4,5-7 inches] larger than your widest measurement, which would give you 12-18 cm [4,5-7 inches] of positive ease. The beige Memory sweater is pictured here in size M (positive ease approx. 28 cm [11 inches]). The dark brown Memory sweater is pictured here in size S (positive ease approx. 20 cm [8 inches]). The length is measured at the centre back, including the neckband.

    Construction notes
    Memory sweater is worked top down. The neckline is double and is knitted together. After the neckline is completed, short rows are worked to make the back longer than the front. Then the yoke with pattern and increases are worked (both are shown in the chart). Raglan increases are worked. Sleeves and body are then worked one at a time.

    The pattern will be sent as a pdf-file to your e-mail.
