Why you'll love it

  • Sami bands, Finnish nameThe yoke is inspired by Sami woven bands; the name comes from Rovaniemi in Finland, which some believe is the home of Santa Claus.
  • A Christmas lookJasper red and winter blue on light ash heather. The designer says the sweater’s Christmas look is why it had to be called Rova — pronounced Råva.
  • From the neck downYou cast on at the neck, increase through two yoke charts, then set the sleeves aside and knit the body down to the rib.
  • Fine and lightPlötulopi knitted as a single strand, at 19 stitches to 10 cm on 4 mm needles — one 100 g plate holds 300 m.
  • Grey, red and blueKeep the light ash with jasper red and winter blue, or swap any of the three for another Plötulopi shade in the colour picker at no charge.

Good to know

Rova Light Grey Sweater Knitting Kit — your questions, answered

Which size should I knit?
The finished bust is 95, 100, 107, 114, 121, 128 and 138 cm for XS to 3XL (37½–54¼″). Each size is meant to be worn with 5–10 cm of ease and fits a bust of about 80–85 cm (XS) up to 120–130 cm (3XL). The designer’s example: if you measure 90 cm, knit S, which measures 100 cm.
How is it knitted?
From the top down in the round. You cast on at the neck and knit two rounds in winter blue, then increase through yoke charts A and B. The sleeve stitches go on a holder while you cast on underarm stitches and knit the body; the sleeves are decreased every 3 cm. Body and cuffs end in 2×2 rib and two rounds of jasper red, cast off loosely.
How are the increases worked?
The pattern uses a twisted increase: lift the strand between two stitches with the left needle from back to front and knit it like a twisted stitch, tightening a little so it looks invisible.
Will I have yarn left over?
The kit holds the 3XL amounts: 5 plates of 1026 light ash heather and 2 each of 1427 jasper red heather and 1432 winter blue heather. XS uses 2 plates of light ash, S and M use 3, L to 2XL use 4; sizes XS to XL use one plate each of red and blue.
What does the kit with needles include?
ADDI needles: 4 mm (US 6) circular needles in 40 and 80 cm, a 3 mm (US 2½) circular needle in 80 cm, and 3 mm and 4 mm double-pointed needles. The pattern names a 100 cm length for the 3 mm needle used for the body rib; the kit’s is 80 cm.
