Nobba sweater (English)

Nobba is the wardrobe classic: a simple, timeless and relaxed round-neck sweater. It has a very minimal design and simple construction making it suitable also for beginners. Mohair gives the sweater a modern, soft and luxurious feel. You will need this sweater in every colour available!<3

Nobba sweater is knitted top to bottom in one piece. The front and back pieces are first knitted separately in flat until the armpits; afterwards, the body is knitted in the round to full length. The back piece is knitted first, and the shoulder seams are shaped using the European shoulder technique. The front piece is knitted top down, picking up the stitches from the shoulder seam. The sleeve stitches are picked up from the armhole, and the top of the sleeve is shaped using German short rows. The sleeve is knitted in the round from top to bottom.

Nobba sweater has a very relaxed and straight-line fit. It is designed to fit with +20-25 cm positive ease to the chest circumference and has dropped shoulders. The sleeves are long and relaxed.

I am wearing a size M and my bust circumference is 90 cm. Choose a size that is approx. 20 cm more than your chest circumference. Or if you want a more fitted result, size down 1 size.
