Knitting Pattern 80s Sweater and Yarn

Knitting kit with yarn and free digital knitting pattern. Colorful 80s style knitted sweater! Candyfloss sweater with a round neck. The sweater is similar to our original, but here we have made it with a round neck instead of a V-neck, and with stripes on the back. Knitted bottom-up in one strand of Fluff. Sleeves are knitted top-down by picking up stitches in the opening of the body.

FIT
The sweater runs large. It has a wide and short fit with a thick neckline. It's roomy with wide sleeves and a regular/slightly short body. The model is intended to be wide, with about 20 cm of ease. This means you should choose a size that is 15-20 cm larger than your own chest measurement. Feel free to choose the fit you prefer.

We've also mixed it up with different colored ribbed sleeves. Feel free to play around and create your own version! Alternatively, you can replace one strand of Fluff with 4 strands of Hip Mohair. This way, you'll have an extra wide color selection and can combine the two yarns as you wish. You can either use both ends of 2 skeins to get 4 strands, divide a skein into 4 small ones, or use 4 skeins.
