Description of Sailor Vibe Sweater

The Sailor Vibe Sweater is worked top down in garter stitch with raglan increases and stripes. First, the collar is worked in 2×2 rib, where after short rows are used to sculpt the neckline. The yoke of the sweater is worked back and forth and a stockinette stripe is worked between the increase stitches. The fourth raglan stripe is formed from the open raglan increase using double knit on both sides. On the middle of the bust, the yoke is divided into sleeves and body, which are all finished separately. The stockinette stripes continue down each side of the body and on the flipside of the sleeves. The sweater is worked with two different colors throughout the entire sweater. The edges are 2×2 rib.

Since the Sailor Vibe Sweater is created using garter sts, the sweater will grow approximately 7-10% when washed and worn, why it is important not to choose too large a size. The Sailor Vibe Sweater is designed to have a positive ease of 5-15 cm. Therefore, measure yourself around the bust (or the widest place on your upper body) and choose your size accordingly. Choose the size according to your bust size. If you are in doubt, go for the smaller size.
