Nora Sweater
Nora Sweater
Note : The recipe for the Nora Sweater consists of two PDF files .
Nora Sweater is a sweater with a Nordic-inspired pattern border on the yoke. The sweater is knitted in the round, from top to bottom, with raglan removals and German turns both on the yoke and at the bottom of the body, which makes the neck of the sweater higher and the sweater slightly longer on the back. The shirt has a loose fit.
Size guide
The Nora Sweater should have a room for movement (positive ease) of approx. 12-16 cm in relation to your chest measurement. Str. XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL corresponds to a chest measurement of approx. 70-76 (76-82) 82-88 (88-94) 94-100 (100-106) 106-112 (112-118) 118-124 cm. That is if your chest measurement is, for example, 90 cm, you should knit size M, where the overall width of the shirt is 106 cm. Remember that these measurements only apply if the knitting strength is respected. If you want a tighter fit, I would recommend going down a size in relation to your chest measurement.
