PetiteKnit Celeste Sweater - Physical pattern

This item is a physical copy of the PetiteKnit Celeste Sweater pattern in A5 colour booklet form. Check out the PetiteKnit Celeste Sweater Kit here.

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.
