Holly Off Shoulder - Knitamore

Holly Off Shoulder is knitted from the top down with a ribbed neckline that bends down to form the off shoulder part of the sweater. After the rib part, the stitches are divided into sleeves, front and back piece, and the body piece is finished with raglan construction. The 4 "raglan stitches" that separate the parts of the yoke are knitted as purl stitches and form a beautiful and discreet raglan line.

The body is knitted straight down and finished in a rolled edge. The sleeves are also knitted straight down, but end with width in the lower part. The sleeves are long and end in the middle of the back of the hand with a rolled edge like on the body. The sweater is assembly-free.

Size guide: Holly Off Shoulder is designed to be close-fitting both in body and sleeves and should have a negative movement room of approx. 10-20 cm. If you want a sweater that is not as tight-fitting, you can choose to knit the model one size larger than you normally would. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL and (2XL) correspond to chest measurements of approximately 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) cm. Measure yourself and estimate your size before you start knitting the sweater.

Knit strength: 19 stitches x 29 rows in stockinette stitch on needles 4.5 mm = 10 x 10 cm. Knitting strength in rib: approx. 25 stitches x 30 needles on needle size 4.0 mm.

Guiding sticks: Circular needle 4.0 mm (80/100 cm), if knitting with magic loop technique and circular needle 4.5 mm. Alternatively, double pointed needles can be used for the sleeves and a shorter circular needle for the neck.
