Yarn kit for the Terracotta Sweater by LeKnit.

The Terracotta Sweater features jacquard borders and small textured patterns on a stockinette stitch background. This makes the sweater fun to knit—without being too difficult.

Beautiful patterns draw you in. The especially lovely colors are easy to wear and combine wonderfully.

The Terracotta Sweater is knitted from the top down in the round. The colorwork is subtle yet eye-catching, reminiscent of ceramics and timeless. It is knitted with a beautiful combination of Tynn Peer Gynt and Tynn Silk Mohair, so you can wear your Terracotta Sweater all year round—it is durable and fluffy.

All the steps in the instructions are explained in detail, and the patterns are illustrated clearly.

Dreamy sweater with beautiful patterns!

Size guide
The Terracotta Sweater is designed with 20–28 cm of positive ease. The version shown has approximately 25 cm of ease, meaning the sweater is shown on a model whose bust measurement is 25 cm smaller than the sweater. Measure your bust circumference (or the fullest part of your upper body) and choose your size based on that measurement (the finished sweater measurements are listed on the front). Positive ease is the difference between the finished knitted garment and your measurements.
For example, if your bust measurement is 94 cm, you will have 26 cm of ease in size S/M (120 cm – 94 cm = 26 cm). * The length is measured down the center back, including the neckband.
