Knus

I got a mail from Sabine and I quote:

“Knus” – Hug.

For me it means to hug autumn instead of complaining about the weather etc.
Being wrapped in something light, warm and cosy  –  isn´t it something we all want/need?

I agree 😊

Sizes XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL):

The sweater has a positive ease of 10cm-18cm/4”-7”.

Broken rib pattern

Yarn:

This version is worked with two qualities of yarn held together to achieve a loose airy fabric.

A: 1100/1202 (1150/1257, 1250/1367, 1300/1421, 1400/1531, 1550/1695) m/yd Spinni tweed by Isager, colorway 2s, lace, 100% wool, 300m/328yd per 50g/1.75oz

B: same yardage of Silk Mohair by Isager, colorway 0, lace, 70% mohair, 30% silk, 212m/232yd per 25g/0.88oz 

Other yarns can be used, but keep in mind that using other yarn qualities might lead to a different overall look of the sweater. It can also affect the amount of yarn needed. 

Please keep in mind that yardage is an estimate.

Materials:

4.5mm/US 7, 40cm/16” circular needle for rib at the neck

5.0mm/US 8, 40cm/16” circular needle or double-pointed needles for neck and sleeves
5.0mm/US 8, 80cm/32” circular needle for yoke and body 

If you’re using the “magic loop” method, the 80cm/32” (or longer) circular needle is used for working almost the whole sweater.
