Adult sweater knitting pattern

Sitkagreni is my favorite type of evergreen, so I wanted to design a Christmas sweater featuring it in the pattern. I aimed for a classic design that could be worn all year round. SIZES (XXS) XS (S) M (L) XL (XXL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL Bust circumference: (75.5) 82 (89) 95.5 (102) 111 (120) 126.5 (131) 140 cm Body length: (30) 32 (34) 36 (38) 40 (42) 43 (44) 46 cm Sleeve length: (42) 44 (46) 47 (48) 49 (50) 51 (52) 52 cm Sleeve width: (31) 31.5 (34) 35 (36.5) 38 (39) 41.5 (43) 45 cm MATERIALS Saga Wool from Icewear Yarn Color A 1000: (6) (6) (7) (8) (8) (9) (10) (11) (11) (12) skeins Color B 5128: (1) (1) (2) (2) (2) (2) (2) (2) (3) (3) skeins NEEDLES Circular needles size 4 mm and 5 mm, 40 and 60/80 cm depending on size Double-pointed needles size 4 mm and 5 mm GAUGE 10 x 10 cm = 18 stitches and 26 rows using 5 mm needles. Note: The sweater is worked on the tighter side, so you may need to use 4.5 mm or even 4 mm needles. It’s not recommended to skip checking your gauge. METHOD The sweater is knitted from the bottom up. For experienced knitters who prefer working top-down, it’s easy to follow the pattern in reverse—simply decrease where the instructions say to increase. Available in Icelandic and English.
