Yarn kit for the Terracotta Sweater by LeKnit.

The Terracotta Sweater features jacquard borders and small structural patterns on a stockinette stitch background. This makes the sweater fun to knit – without being too difficult.

Beautiful patterns will captivate you. The particularly beautiful colors are absolutely wearable and easy to combine.

The Terracotta Sweater is knitted in rounds from top to bottom. The color pattern is subtle but still catches the eye, reminiscent of ceramics and will remain forever contemporary. It is knitted from the beautiful yarn combination of Tynn Peer Gynt and Tynn Silk Mohair, so you can wear your Terracotta Sweater all year round, it is robust and fluffy.

All steps of the instructions are explained in detail and the patterns are drawn in detail.

Dreamy sweater with beautiful patterns!

size guide
The Terracotta Sweater is designed with a positive ease of 20-28 cm. The version shown has a positive ease of approximately 25 cm, which means that the sweater is shown on a model who has a chest measurement 25 cm smaller than the sweater. Measure your chest (or the widest part of your upper body) and choose the size based on that (the finished measurements of the sweater are shown on the front). The positive ease is the difference between the finished knitted piece and your measurements.
For example, if your chest circumference is 94 cm, a size S/M will give you 26 cm of freedom of movement (120 cm - 94 cm = 26 cm). * The length is measured in the middle of the back, including the neckband.
