Sex sweater
From € 5,78
Let´s not be too excited and report me for inappropriate content, sex means six in Icelandic 😉 This relaxed top-down sweater with 3/4 sleeves is playing on the number six: it makes use of a 6 mm needle (US 10), a lace motif of 6-stitch repeat, and the overall numbers are multiple of sex. It is inspired by simple Icelandic lace shawls decorated with bands of lace motif against a stocking stitch background and ends with a loopy bind-off, typical of Icelandic shawls. It has a very clever construction with an extra lace band across the shoulder blades to raise the back higher. A very quick and enjoyable knit coming into a wide range of sizes from XXS to 5XL: oh no, that’s 10 sizes not 6!
Yarn used: Katla Sokkaband

Notions: stitch marker, darning needle. Extra needles of same size or smaller or waste yarn to set sleeves sts on hold.
Techniques: The sweater is knitted top down in the round in Stocking stitch with bands of easy lace (charted and written instructions). At the armholes, the stitches are divided between the back, the front and the sleeves. The sleeves are set on hold. The back is knitted higher back and forth then extra stitches are cast on for the underarms and the body is knitted in the round. Stitches are then picked up at the underarms and along the higher back and the sleeves are knitted in the round from the top down.
