Before beginning your project, measure yourself to determine which size to knit.

A size L sweater has a bust circumference of 119 cm [46¾ inches] which in the given example would give you 16 cm [6¼ inches] of positive ease.

Worked with 1 strand throughout 

Gauge: 
20 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] in stockinette stitch on a 4 mm [US6] needle
20 sts x 20-22 rows = 10 x 10 [4 x 4 inches] in colorwork pattern on a 4.5 mm [US7] needle

Needles:
Circular needles 4.5 mm [US7] and 4 mm [US6] / 60, 80 and/or 100 cm [24, 32 and/or 40 inches]
Circular needles 3.5 mm [US4] / 80 or 100 cm [32 or 40 inches]
Circular needles 3 mm [US2½] / 40 cm [16 inches] 
Double-pointed needles: 4 mm [US6] and 3.5 mm [US4] (unless the Magic Loop technique is used)
Optionally: A larger needle size for knitting the colorwork pattern

Procedure:
The Celeste Sweater Man is worked from the top down and has a circular yoke. First a folded neck edge is worked, then the yoke is worked in the round in the charted colorwork pattern using 5 different colors. Short rows are worked after the stranded pattern has been completed to raise the back and create a nice fit. The body and sleeves are worked in the round in stockinette stitch and finished with a rib edge. 
Please note that stranded knitting often needs to be worked on a needle 0.5-1 mm larger to maintain the same gauge as the stockinette stitch sections worked in one color. For this reason, you need to work a swatch in both the stranded colorwork pattern and in solid stockinette stitch before starting your sweater. 
This pattern contains charts with the colors of the blue Celeste Sweater Man alongside blank charts that can be colored with your own chosen colors.

Please Note:
The price of the yarn kit is calculated based on the amount of yarn included, which is the amount we have used to knit the design according to the above measurements. Should you need more yarn, additional yarn can be purchased at regular prices by placing an order and state lot number in the comment box at checkout. All designs have been thoroughly calculated and tested.

ABOUT PATTERNS FROM ÖNLING

In 95% of all kits from Önling, you get a digital pattern and yarn when you buy a kit. Read more about how to get hold of your digital knitting pattern here.

In very few cases, however, we provide a printed pattern rather than a digital one:

- When you buy a kit for ALL designs from PetiteKnit's, you will receive a printed, pattern together with your yarn, as we are unfortunately not allowed to sell Petite Knits' patterns digitally.

- When you buy a kit for a design from selected books (e.g. Helga Isager), you sometimes have to buy the book separately, in cases where the patterns are not released to be sold separately. It will always be clearly described in the product title, with for example "xx kit, excluding pattern", when the pattern is not included.

- All patterns from Isager are delivered as a printed pattern, as we do not have access to sell these digitally. You will receive your pattern along with your yarn shipment.

Wool can last for years, but it requires good care. Washing is tough on your woolen garments and in general wool needs to be washed much less than other materials as it has a self-cleaning effect.
