Simone sweater light - English pattern

ABOUT THIS PATTERN

Simone sweater light, a simpler and thinner version of Simone sweater which became a favourite with you. Simone sweater light is a bit more beginner friendly, because the fair isle pattern is only knitted in the round, not back and forth. And it gives a more minimalist expression, since the fair isle pattern is only at the bottom of the body and sleeves. It is knitted in a lighter yarn, witch makes it lighter and thinner.

Even though it’s an easier edition in many ways, there’s still a good amount of statement. You can knit it in earth tones for a basic version, or you can use bright colours which will give the sweater its own distinctiveness.

SIZES: XS (S) M (L) XL (XXL) XXXL

GAUGE: 18 STS / 25 ROWS = 10*10 CM (4*4 IN)

Remember to knit a swatch before you start. If you get too many sts per 10 cm/4 in try with a bigger ndl, if you get too few sts switch to a smaller ndl size. Parts of the sweater is knitted by number of rows/rnds, not cm/in. If your gauge is wrong both the length and width will be wrong.

NEEDLES

4,5 mm/US 7 (circular needle 80 cm/32 in + double pointed needles if you don’t knit with magicloop) for ribbed edges

5 mm/US 8 (circular needle 40 cm/16 in, 80 cm/32 in + double pointed needles if you don’t knit with magicloop) for stocking stitch

5,5 mm/US 9 (circular needle 80 cm/32 in + double pointed needles if you don’t knit with magicloop) for fair isle

(I have reserved that the fair isle pattern is knitted with a larger ndl than the stockinette stitch, because this part has multiple strands and often gets tighter than the part with just one strand)
