Hanstholm Men's Sweater Pattern

The Hanstholm Sweater is worked from the top down with raglan increases on the yoke. Short rows are worked after the neck rib edge to shape the neckline.

Size guide: The Hanstholm Sweater is designed to have approx. 6-13cm of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 6-13cm larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 86-91 (91-96) 96-101 (101-107) 107-113 (113-119) 119-124 (124-132) cm.

The measurements for the finished garment are on the pattern. Before beginning your project, measure the recipient of the sweater to determine which size to knit. For example, if the recipient measures 103cm around his chest (or around the widest part of his upper body) you should knit a size L. A size L sweater has a bust circumference of 115cm which in the given example would give you 12cm of positive ease.
