Yarn kit for the Esther Sweater Man by PetiteKnit.

This beautiful sweater with its unique pattern combining zigzags and moss stitch is already a classic! The pattern is not difficult to knit, yet it looks wonderfully beautiful! The men's version is now available, so you can knit a matching Esther Sweater for the whole family!

You can wear the Esther Sweater all year round: it is neither too thick nor too thin, and is wonderfully soft and really lightweight. 

The sweater is worked in the round from the top down. First, the shoulder section is completed, then the front shoulder is knitted, and finally the body is completed in the round. The sleeves are also added in the round.

This yarn kit for the Esther Sweater Man contains the appropriate amount of yarn for the selected size. The sweater is knitted with Peer Gynt by Sandnes Garn.

The Esther Sweater is guaranteed to become your favorite sweater!

We also have a matching Esther Sweater set for women in our shop!

Size Guide

The Esther Sweater Man should have approximately 10–15 cm of positive ease compared to your chest circumference. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a body chest circumference of 86-91 (91-96) 96-101 (101-107) 107-113 (113-119) 119-124 (124-132) 132-144 cm. The finished sweater measurements can be found on the title page. First, take your own measurements before starting to knit to determine the size that fits you best. If your chest circumference (or the widest part of your body) measures 104 cm, you should choose size L. A sweater in size L has a chest circumference of 119 cm and would therefore have 15 cm of positive ease in this case.
