Yarn kit for the Marseille Sweater by PetiteKnit.

The maritime classic reinterpreted.

The Marseille Sweater will immediately make you dream of small fishing villages and the big, wide sea!

The sweater is again knitted from top to bottom.

First, the upper part of the back is worked in rows, while the shoulder slopes are shaped with shortened rows for the ideal fit.

The shoulders are then knitted separately using short rows on a circular needle before being gathered onto one needle for the front. The front and back are joined in the round to form the torso, which is then knitted in the round on a circular needle.

The sleeves are knitted from picked up stitches around the armholes and are given a slant by shortened rows. They are made in the round on a circular needle and with a set of needles or the magic loop technique. The neck cuff is knitted last from picked up stitches, folded double and knitted on the inside.

The Marseille Sweater is knitted with stripes, the placement of which is described in the instructions.

When choosing this size, allow 25cm of freedom of movement compared to your chest measurement - the sweater has an oversized cut.

size guide

The Marseille Sweater should have a positive ease of approximately 25 cm in relation to your chest circumference. The cut is oversized. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL fit a chest circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The dimensions of the finished sweater are on the front. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine the size that fits you best. If your chest circumference (or the widest part of your body) is 90 cm, you should choose size S. A sweater in size S has a chest circumference of 115 cm and in this case would have a positive ease of 25 cm.
