Product Information
The Hanstholm Sweater is knitted from top to bottom with raglan openings. The ribbing of the neck is worked in yarn overs to form the neckline.
Size guide; The Hanstholm Sweater should have a range of motion (positive ease) of approx. 6cm-13cm larger than the recipient's chest measurement.
Measure the receiver before you start knitting to assess which size will fit best. If, for example, they measure 103cm around the chest (or the widest part of the body), you should knit a size L. A sweater in size L has an excess width of 115cm and, in the example mentioned, will provide a room for movement (positive ease) of 12cm.
