Sevela Sweater – by sea + veil

A lightweight, oversized sweater with an elegant European shoulder, knitted from fingering yarn in a loose gauge. The delicate lace pattern on the body and sleeves is reminiscent of a gentle breeze or soft waves. In silk, it is the perfect summer companion; in soft wool, a cozy piece for autumn and spring.

Blue version: Tussah silk by FiberPassion in the color Calm Water
Grey version: Linno by FiberPassion in the color Kiesel

For a bust measurement of:

76-80 (81-84, 85-89, 90-95; 96-103) (104-111, 112-119, 120-127; 128-135) 136-143 cm

Finished sweater bust measurement:

Choosing the right size:

The Sevela Sweater was designed with approximately 30 cm of positive ease at the bust, and approximately 25 cm for sizes XL to 5XL.

Example: If your bust measurement is 92 cm, choose size 4. Because 122 cm (92 cm + 30 cm)  is closest to size 4 with 123 cm.

Please note that the design was created for a fingering yarn (approx. 400m/100g) that is knitted with larger needles to achieve a loose fabric.

Please choose the needle size that achieves the gauge. I knit slightly looser.

1 circular needle with 3.75 mm (40 cm for the sleeves and 80 cm or 100 cm depending on the bust measurement for the body)

1 circular needle 3.0 mm (40 cm) for the neckline
