Tension gauge swatch
 
Make sure to check your tension by creating a gauge swatch before starting your knit.
Cast on 21 stitches and knit 29 rows in stockinette with 4 mm needles for a 10 x 10 cm swatch. Everyone’s tension is different, so if your tension is too tight and your gauge swatch measures too little, change to a thicker needle. If your tension is too loose and your gauge swatch is too wide, change to a thinner needle.
 
Good to know
 
The sweater is knitted from top down in the raglan style, starting on the neckline, knitting the yoke and separating the arms and body and continuing from there to the hem and cuffs. The flame print motif is knitted with fairisle/stranded knitwork technique.
 
The yarn quantity required is based on the average, and is therefore an approximate number. The sweater can be knitted in any yarn that consists of the same thickness as Organic merino DK or reaches the same gauge as provided.
