Husøy Sweater Mini

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
The garment has an intended ease of approximately 4–8 cm (1.6–3.1”), and the ease increases with size. The smaller sizes are designed with a slightly closer fit to layer comfortably under outerwear, while the larger sizes have a more relaxed fit so the sweater can be worn for a longer time. It is recommended that you measure against a garment you already own and choose the size based on your personal preference.
The pattern also includes tips for creating “in-between sizes.”
