No Frills Sweater - Petiteknit Knitting Pattern - German

The No Frills Sweater is worked top-down with raglan increases on the yoke. First, the neckline is created, followed by short rows at the back of the neck to shape the neckline. The body and sleeves are worked in the round and finished with ribbed cuffs.

First, make a swatch to determine the correct needle size for you.

Size Guide

The No Frills Sweater is designed to have approximately 15 cm of positive ease in the smaller sizes, and gradually less positive ease in the larger sizes. The sizes 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) cm. The measurements of the finished sweater can be found on the first page (please note that these only apply if the gauge is met). Measure yourself before you begin knitting to determine the size that fits you best. For example: If you measure your bust circumference (or stomach, if this is the widest part of your torso) and it is 93 cm, then you should choose size M. A sweater in size M has a bust circumference of 109 cm, and in the given example, the positive ease will be 16 cm. A measurement chart can be found here.
