[valentinasknits] Свитер Schwerelos (Валентина Богданова)

The yarn I used for this sweater feels weightless, «schwerelos» in German, this is how I was calling my new sweater as I was making it.
It is worked seamlessly from the top down, starting with the wide cosy turtleneck in reverse stockinette (knitted on wrong side), followed by circular yoke. After the yoke, the body and sleeves are separated and further worked in reverse stockinette as well.
The range of ease across all the sizes is 10-11 cm /4-4.5”. The picture shows size 3 with 11 cm/4.5” of positive ease.
