Knitting Kit - Colette Pullover by Sari Nordlund

Pattern not included - you must purchase the pattern on Ravelry here. 

Pattern available in English. 

The Colette sweater has a boxy fit and dropped shoulders. It is knitted with an all-over cable and lace pattern. Knitting begins at the back neckline, then gradually widens until the full back width is reached. Increases integrated into the cable pattern are fully shown on the chart.
Then, stitches are picked up for the shoulders and knitted towards the front of the sweater. The front and back are joined at the armholes, then the body is knitted in the round. Stitches are then picked up from the body for the sleeves and neckline trim. The sleeves are worked in the cable pattern and the neckline in 1x1 ribbing. The bottom and cuffs are finished with a tubular bind-off, offering an elegant and stretchy finish, where the stitches appear to roll over the edge to join the other side of the ribbing.

To best showcase the patterns, it is recommended to choose a solid or subtly variegated color.
The Colette sweater is knitted with a fingering weight yarn held together with a mohair and silk yarn.

The length of the body and sleeves can be easily adjusted to your measurements. It is advisable to try on the sweater regularly as you knit to achieve the perfect length for your style.
Note: for a shorter ("cropped") version, you can simply knit 15 to 20 cm / 6 to 8 inches for the body.
