About this pattern
Every wardrobe needs one of these, and this is the pattern to knit it from. There is nothing to distract you — plain stocking stitch body, rib at the edges, a roll neck picked up at the end — so it is a good first sweater and equally good television knitting once you have made a few. The fit is relaxed rather than fitted, the sleeves are set in, and in Scandi Soft XL on 6 mm needles the whole thing takes four to six balls.
Good to know
- Construction – worked bottom up: front, back and sleeves knitted flat and sewn together, with 2×2 rib on 5 mm needles at the hem and cuffs and the roll neck picked up at the end.
- You will also need – 6 mm needles and 5 mm needles for the rib. The pattern is written for Scandi Soft XL (100 g): 4–6 balls depending on size. Using another yarn? Any chunky yarn that knits to 16 sts × 20 rows over 10 cm in stocking stitch.
- In the download – a 7-page PDF with the full pattern and tension tips. English only.
Happy Knitting!

Designed by Anette Eriksson
I believe making something with your hands changes the way you feel. In a world that constantly asks us to go faster, slow craft gives us permission to pause, create and enjoy the process. Through timeless Scandinavian design, beautiful fibres and thoughtful patterns, I hope to help others discover the calm and joy that making can bring.
