EASE
Measurements for the Gudrun Sweater are the actual
measurements of the sweater. To ensure you knit the right
size, measure your own bust and add 5-15 cm, then choose
your size based on that number. Adding 5 cm to your own

NEEDLES
Circular needles 6,0 mm + 7,0 mm in suitable lengths
measurements will give you a fitted sweater, which is
practical if it is to be worn as an extra layer under a jacket
and/or if you prefer a close-fitting garment. If you want a
looser sweater, add 15 cm to your own measurements. For

GAUGE
12 sts x 17 rows = 10 x 10 cm on 7.0 mm needles in
stockinette stitch using 2 strands of yarn, after blocking.
Make sure to keep the gauge right.
example, if your own bust measurement is 105 cm and you
want the Gudrun Sweater to be slightly loose, you should
knit size 4 (bust measurement 120 cm). Please note that
most knitwear “grows” slightly with use, so there will always
be a little extra ease once the sweater is worn.
