Pattern "Aros Sweater" - PetiteKnit

This knitting pattern is in English. - Paper Format

The Aros Sweater is worked from the top down. The yoke is first worked back and forth on circular needles to shape the neck, then the work is joined and worked in the round. The yoke is constructed with shoulder increases on both right-side and wrong-side rows in the first section. In the next section, increases are only made on the sleeves, and in the last section, classic raglan increases are made on both the body and the sleeves. The neckband is worked at the end from stitches picked up and knitted along the neck edge. The neck edge is folded and sewn. The sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or on long circular needles using the Magic Loop technique.

Aros Sweater features stripes in 8 different colors. The sweater can also be worked in a single color or in stripes with fewer colors.

Start by knitting, washing, and blocking a swatch to determine which needle size gives you the correct gauge.

If you want to knit an Aros dress instead of an Aros sweater, simply extend the body of the sweater to dress length (read the yarn estimates for making a dress of the desired length in the Materials section on the first page).

Size Guide

Aros Sweater is designed to have approx. 6 cm [2¼ inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 6 cm [2¼ inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm [31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37½ (37½-39½) 39½-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ inches]. The finished garment measurements are on the first page of the pattern (note that these measurements are only achieved if the pattern is knitted to the correct gauge). Before starting your project, measure yourself with a tape measure around your bust or the widest part of your upper body to determine which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body), you should knit a size S. A size S sweater has a bust circumference of 95 cm [37½ inches] which, in the given example, would give you 5 cm [2 inches] of positive ease.

If you lengthen the sweater to dress length, the ease around the hips should be 0 cm [0 inches] or more.
