The pattern comes in Norwegian, English, and Danish.

Lydiara_sweater is knitted top-down. The work begins with the shoulder pieces, before stitches are picked up for the back. Then the front pieces are knitted, before the work is joined and continued in the round. The sweater features a cohesive cable pattern that gives a decorative yet clean look.

SIZE GUIDE
The cables will feel quite dense while you are knitting, but they will open up nicely after washing and blocking, creating a more even appearance. The sweater may therefore seem small during knitting but will achieve the correct fit after washing and blocking – so do not skip this step! You can choose how loose/snug you want it, depending on the size you select. Recommended ease is 10 – 20 cm. If you want it more oversized, go up a size, and vice versa for a more fitted sweater.

GAUGE
27/32 sts per 10 cm, in cable stitch when the garment is blocked.
