Stockholm Sweater V-neck is a wonderfully luxurious, lightweight, and fluffy mohair sweater with a V-neckline. It is designed by the hugely popular Danish designer PetiteKnit.

The sweater is knitted from the top down using double-stranded silk mohair yarn. The sweater features dropped shoulders and long ribbed cuffs.

The Stockholm Sweater V-neck is designed to have approx. 15 cm [6 inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 15 cm [6 inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed to fit an approx. bust circumference of 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 (37½-39½) 39½-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ (51¼-55) 55-59 inches].

Before beginning your project, measure yourself to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part on your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S sweater has a bust circumference of 105 cm [41¼ inches] which in the given example would give you 15 cm [6 inches] of positive ease.

Note that decreases are worked on the body of the sweater, so the circumference at the hem is 5 cm [2 inches] smaller than at the bust. These decreases can be omitted, if you do not want the sweater to be narrower at the hem.

  • Sizes: XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL
  • Bust circumference: 100 (105) 110 (115) 125 (135) 145 (155) 165 cm [39¼ (41¼) 43¼ (45¼) 49¼ (53¼) 57 (61) 64½ inches]
  • Length: Measured mid back incl. folded neck rib edge: 56 (58) 60 (62) 65 (67) 68 (70) 71 cm [22 (22¾) 23½ (24½) 25½ (26½) 26¾ (27½) 28 inches]

The Stockholm Sweater V-neck is worked from the top down in two strands of silk mohair held together. First the back part of the yoke is worked, then stitches are picked up and knitted along the cast-on edge on the back for the shoulders.

The front shoulders are worked one at a time with short rows that create a wedge. The front and back parts of the yoke are joined under the underarms after leaving an opening for the armholes and the body is worked in the round on a circular needle from there on. Stitches are picked up and knitted along the armhole openings next and the sleeves are worked down from there on either double-pointed needles or a circular needle using the Magic Loop technique.

Finally, stitches are picked up and knitted along the neck edge and a rib edge is worked with decorative decreases at the bottom of the V-neck on the first section of the neck edge, and correspondingly with increases on the second section, which is folded to the WS. This neck edge is then folded and sewn to the WS.

Begin by working a swatch to determine which needle size you need to achieve the correct gauge.

PATTERN TYPE

Intermediate

The patterns in this category require that you have experience with and feel confident in using the basic knitting techniques, as the patterns contain more advanced techniques for example for casting on, picking up and knitting stitches or working short rows.

You may need to keep track of multiple elements at the same time – for example you may need to work a charted pattern while working shaping at the same time.
