The model shown in the picture is knitted in size 1 in Peruvian fv 977, together with Tilia fv 101. All of the knitwear that I am wearing here can be found at my shop.

The Honey Sweater is knitted from the top down. First, the shoulder part of the back piece is knitted, and then the front pieces. The back piece and front piece are gathered under the armhole to form the body. The body is knitted in the round and finished with a split in each side. Then, stitches are picked up for the sleeves, which are also knitted in structure. The entire sweater is knitted according to the diagram, except for the ribs which are knitted with twisted stitches. This will give a nice, pronounced stitch definition. Finally, stitches are picked up around the neck opening and a nice, long neck edge is knitted in structure. The Honey Sweater is knitted in Peruvian together with Tilia, or equivalent that gives the same knitting tension. Feel free to use e.g. Peer Gynt / Smart from Sandnes Garn or Drops Lima / Karisma or Highland wool from Viking Garn together with a thin guide thread such as, e.g. thin silk mohair, Alva from Filcolana or Alpakka guide thread from Sandnes Garn.

It is a good idea to knit a test piece before you start to check that the knitting tension is correct. Note that the knitting tension is stated in structured knit after rinsing.

Size guide

Honey sweater should have a range of motion of approx. 20 cm in relation to your chest measurement. Chest measurement of approx. 80 - 90 (90 - 100) 100 - 120 (120 - 140) cm corresponds to size XS/S

(M/L) XL/2XL (3XL/4XL). This means that if you measure approx. 95 cm around the chest, you should knit a size 2. Measure yourself before you start knitting. The sizes correspond to regular European sizes. It is somewhat oversized in expression, choose a size smaller if you are in doubt or want a sweater that is not oversized.
