PetiteKnit Celeste Sweater Kit

This item is the pattern and the yarn needed to complete your PetiteKnit Celeste Sweater. The kit contains Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt (100% Norwegian wool) for a beautiful colourful result.

The Celeste Sweater is worked from the top down and has a circular yoke. First the neck edge is worked, then the yoke is worked in the round in the charted colorwork pattern using 5 different colours. Short rows are worked after the stranded pattern has been completed to raise the back and create a nice fit. The body and sleeves are worked in the round in stockinette stitch and finished with a rib edge.

• Sizing: XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150). Before beginning your project, measure yourself with a measuring tape around your bust (or your widest upper body part) to determine which size will fit you the best. The Celeste Sweater is designed to have approx. 15 cm of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be approx. 15 cm larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The size of the finished sweater is 96 (100) 107 (111) 115 (123) 134 (142) 153 (160) cm. The measurements are achieved if the sweater is knitted to the correct gauge. Example sizing: if your bust circumference is 85 cm and you knit a size XS, your sweater will have a bust circumference of 100 cm which would give you 15 cm of positive ease.

• Colour combinations You can choose one of the ready-made combinations in this listing or choose your own, just let me know in the text box! Combination 1 with the purple is very similar to the pattern photo with the brown as the main colour (the only difference is a slight lighter cream and a slightly different navy). The pattern photo with the cream as the main colour is very similar to the Combination 2 (the discontinued darker cream has been replaced with yellow). Any combination you choose will look pretty!
