Frequently Asked Questions
How is the neckline finished on Celeste Sweater Man?
The ribbed neck edge is worked first, folded double and knitted together. The circular colourwork yoke follows, with short rows used to raise the back neckline.
Can I use the same size choice as the other adult Celeste Sweater?
Check this pattern’s own measurements. Celeste Sweater Man is a separate design with approximately 10–15 cm of positive ease, so the size labels are not interchangeable with the other adult version.
