ABOUT THE PROJECT
Perfect sweater makes a dent in your yarn inventory – mix colors and qualities and watch your inventory dwindle while the sweater grows.
Designed with a relaxed, boxy fit and wide sleeves, the sweater is knitted top down in stockinette stitch and is an easy project, even for less experienced knitters.
You start by knitting the upper part of the back piece, then the stitches for the front piece are picked up along the shoulder seam.
The sleeves are shaped by picking up stitches along the armhole, and knitting short rows to give the sleeves extra shape. If you find the short rows challenging, you can choose to skip them. The sleeves are finished with a wide rib edge that can be folded up along a row of purl stitches.
Positive ease and fit
The measurements given are the finished measurements of the sweater, and the model is designed with a positive ease of 10 cm | 4 inches, which gives a loose and relaxed look.
TIP Measure a shirt that you think fits well and choose the size that best matches its measurements.





Is your yarn stock low - or does it just need a breath of fresh air? Then buy a Stopgarnspil package from Garnspecialisten, which sells deadstock and surplus yarn that would have been burned if they hadn't saved it.
Super god og nem opskrift. Nem at ændre en smule efter egne ideer. Vil glæde mig, hvis der kommer et hæfte eller bog med opskrifter fra Frejas knit
Jeg fik brugt en hulens masse af mine rester og har strikket en sweater som min datter kigger misundeligt på. Opskriften var nem at følge og nem at gøre til min egen. Jeg valgte den højehals fra og gjorde ærmerne en lille smule smallere ned mod håndleddet.
Jeg har ikke nået at strikke Perfect Sweater endnu, men jeg har været igennem opskriften, og den er meget brugervenlig, jeg glæder mig til at strikke noget "PERFECT". Kh fra Birte
