The Flow and Ebb-sweater is a thick pullover-sweater - nice and warm. It is knitted from below and up. The sweater is knitted in stocking stitches, with a ribbed border at the bottom of the body and on the cuffs. The Flow and Ebb has a round cast off, so that the number of stitches is being reduced on the body upwards to the neckline. This sweater is a fun play with colors! This sweater is slightly larger than the standard patterns/designs, so that it can be used outside a thin windshell jacket or outside a thinner wool sweater.
Why have the knitted sweater hidden inside a jacket when you can show it off on a hiking instead?

Sizes: S (M) L (XL) 1 cm = 2,54 inch (“)
Width/circumference: approx. 84 (96) 108 (120) cm = 33” (37,7”) 42,5” (47,2”)

Knitting solidity/ gauge/ tension:
15 stitches on needle No. 7 (US 10,5” / UK 2) = 10 cm width = 3,9”
15 rounds on needle No. 7 (US 10,5” / UK 2) = 10 cm height = 3,9”
Important: Knitting solidity for this design varies from yarnproducer´s recommendation because of the extent of patterns. Do not twist and tighten the threads on the reverse side, because this may cause contraction of the sweater.
