Description
Yarn kit for the Celeste Sweater - Man by PetiteKnit.
The beautiful Celeste Sweater is a classic Norwegian sweater, presented here in the men's version, with wonderful, very classic colors! The pattern is made up of small motifs and is therefore also well suited to beginners in Norwegian knitting.
Note that when knitting with a colorwork pattern (Fair Isle), you often need to use needles that are 0.5–1 mm thicker than when knitting in a single color. Therefore, knit both a single-color and a multicolored gauge swatch before starting the actual project.
This PetiteKnit classic is designed for the whole family—knit it as a matching look for everyone!
And the best part is that Peer Gynt becomes softer and more comfortable with wear while remaining extremely durable and easy to care for! The perfect combination!
We have also put together the matching colors for the Celeste Sweater Junior. Knit the Celeste Sweater for the whole family!
Size Guide
The Celeste Sweater Man should have approximately 10–15 cm of positive ease compared with your actual bust circumference. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a body bust circumference of 86–91 (91–96) 96–101 (101–107) 107–113 (113–119) 119–124 (124–132) 132–144 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater can be found on the cover page. Take your own measurements before starting the actual project to determine which size will fit you best. If your bust circumference (or the widest part of your body) measures 103 cm, you should choose size L. A sweater in size L has a bust circumference of 119 cm and would therefore have 16 cm of positive ease in this case.
