Yarn kit for the Key Sweater by PetiteKnit.

The Key Sweater is cozy and warm and has an interesting stripe pattern. The stripes have a Scandinavian look and are interlocking. This pattern is not too difficult to knit and looks great.

The straight cut makes the sweater super comfortable and invites you to snuggle up.

You knit your Key Sweater seamlessly from top to bottom in rounds with raglan increases from Peer Gynt and Alpakka Folgetrad by Sandnes Garn. The soft and warm Peer Gynt is made from pure Norwegian wool and the fine alpakka thread gives it a pleasant softness and makes it beautifully cuddly.

size guide

The Key Sweater should have a positive ease of approximately 25 cm in the smaller sizes and a gradually smaller ease in the larger sizes. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) will fit a chest measurement of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The measurements of the finished sweater can be found on the front page. Measure yourself before you start knitting to find the size that fits you best. If your chest (or widest part of your body) is 86 cm, you should choose size XS. A size sweater will fit a chest measurement of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. XS has a chest circumference of 111 cm and in the chosen example would have a range of motion ( positive ease ) of 25 cm.
