Yarn package for the Balloon Sweater by PetiteKnit

The beautifully dreamy Balloon Sweater has balloon sleeves that begin well below the shoulder and, through their shape, highlight the close-fitting ribbing at the wrist. This feminine shape is very flattering and also highly practical, as the sleeves cannot constantly slide over your hands.

The Balloon Sweater is knitted from the wonderful combination of Sunday and Tynn Silk Mohair by Sandnes Garn, from the top down in the round. It is wonderfully soft and very easy to care for.

Size guide

The Balloon Sweater should have approximately 10–15 cm of positive ease in relation to your bust circumference. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL are designed for a body bust circumference of 80–85 (85–90) 90–95 (95–100) 100–110 (110–120) 120–130 cm. The finished sweater measurements are shown on the front (note that these measurements only apply if the gauge is maintained). Measure your bust circumference (or the widest part of your body) before you begin knitting to determine which size suits you best. If your bust circumference is, for example, 94 cm, you should choose size M. A size M sweater has a bust circumference of 110 cm and would therefore have 16 cm of positive ease in this case.
