Husøy Sweater

A sweater inspired by nature, made for use in nature.

Construction
Worked from the top down with raglan increases. The neckline is shaped using short rows while working the initial increases. Then you switch to stranded colorwork following a chart. After completing the yoke, you separate for body and sleeves and continue working each part separately.

Size guide
This is an oversized garment, designed with 17–28 cm | 6.7–11.0 inches of positive ease, depending on the size chosen. The yoke is long. The width decreases slightly in the larger sizes to accommodate a broader chest size range. The pattern is written for three combined sizes, and it's recommended that you compare the measurements with a garment you already own and choose size based on your personal fit preference. The pattern also includes guidance on how to create “in-between sizes.”
