Feather light bulky

82 kr

Featherlight Bulky is the winter version of one of Helen Olsson’s previous designs. It’s an outdoor sweater with a thickness suitable for those days when you need something extra warm to wear. The sweater is designed with a positive range of motion that is lightweight and casual yet works under a winter jacket or under a vest. The sweater is short and the fit is such that it does not reach the armhole. The sweater is knitted in the round and from the top down in one piece, which gives you the opportunity to try the garment on during the knitting process and to make the necessary corrections for the desired fit.

THE DIMENSIONS OF THE FINISHED GARMENT IN THE SPECIFIED KNITTING TENSION:
Choose a size that is based on the bust measurement you want on a finished garment and that fits well.
The sweater should have a range of movement of 8-10 cm so as not to be too tight on the body. Similarly, the armholes of the jersey should be
be spacious in order to create wiggle room in the finished garment.
