Good to know

Sipoonkorpi — your questions, answered

Which size should I knit?
The pattern gives the width from underarm to underarm: 44, 46, 48, 52, 54 and 57 cm for XS to XXL, which is about 88 to 114 cm all round. Measure a sweater that fits you across the chest and pick the nearest size.
How long are the body and sleeves?
The body measures 40 to 50 cm from underarm to hem and the sleeves 48 to 54 cm from underarm to cuff, depending on size. The sleeves can be knitted to your own length.
What is the twisted rib?
Knit two, purl one, with the first knit stitch always worked through the back loop. It is used for the 8 cm collar and for the 5 cm rib at the hem and cuffs, on 3.5 mm needles.
How are the yoke increases made?
With yarn overs, marked in the chart. On the next round each yarn over is knitted twisted, so it does not leave a hole.
Will I have yarn left over?
The kit has 10 balls of black heather, the amount for XXL, with 2 white, 2 lagoon, 1 glacier blue and 1 rust. XS uses 6 black, S and M 8, L and XL 9. The pattern lists 2 white and 1 of each other colour for XS to XL.
What does the kit with needles include?
4.5 mm (US 7) and 3.5 mm (US 4) circular needles, each in 40 and 80 cm, and 3.5 mm and 4.5 mm double-pointed needles — ADDI, the sizes the pattern names.
