Anker’s Sweater My Boyfriend’s Size is a timeless and minimalistic pattern 

  • Easy and beginner-friendly pattern

  • Quick to finish

  • The Norwegian wool yarn used in the pattern, Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt, resists pilling and becomes softer with wear.

  • You don’t need to stare at the pattern constantly—you can even knit while watching TV

  • Seamlessly knitted from the top down

  • The ribbing pattern on the yoke makes the knitting more interesting than plain stockinette and also gives the shirt a beautifully fitting shape

The Anker’s Sweater – My Boyfriend’s Size is designed to have approx. 6-13 cm [2¼-5¼ inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 6-13 cm [2¼-5¼ inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 86-91 (91-96) 96-101 (101-107) 107-113 (113-119) 119-124 (124-132) cm [33¾-35¾ (35¾-37¾) 37¾-39¾ (39¾-42¼) 42¼-44½ (44½-46¾) 46¾-48¾ (48¾-52) inches].

The measurements for the finished garment are on the front page of the pattern. Before beginning your project, measure the recipient of the sweater to determine which size to knit. For example, if the recipient measures 103 cm [40½ inches] around his chest (or around the widest part of his upper body) you should knit a size L. A size L sweater has a bust circumference of 114 cm [145 inches] which in the given example would give you 11 cm [4¼ inches] of positive ease.

    A fun knit! It would be good to have the instructions in Finnish, but the English version works too.
