Novice Sweater is a delightfully soft and lightweight knit that practically flies off the needles. It’s knitted with large 6mm needles, making the pattern a great choice if you’re looking for a quick and easy knit. A size L sweater weighs only 350g.

The sweater is knitted seamlessly from the top down, and the instructions are written in a beginner-friendly format, making it a suitable option even as a first sweater project.

The included yarn, Sandnes Garn Kos, is a slightly fluffy and thick, yet light alpaca blend. It’s also very soft, making it an excellent choice for baby knits as well.

You can only rely on the measurements in the pattern if you are able to achieve the correct gauge. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are intended to fit a bust measurement of approximately 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm [31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37½ (37½-39¼) 39¼-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ (51¼-55) 55-59 inches] . The Novice Sweater is meant to have a loose fit (positive ease) of 5-10 cm [2-4 inches]. This means that if your bust circumference is 90 cm [35½ inches] (measure yourself with a measuring tape), you should knit a size S that has a bust of 98 cm [38½ inches].

The Novice Sweater has a round yoke, which is shaped by knitting increases on four rounds evenly separated on the yoke.
