adjustments and individualizations

changes for different sizes

When knitting an oversized pullover, it is important to make adjustments for different sizes. This can be achieved by changing the number of stitches and the lengths of the front and back pieces. A stitch sample is helpful in finding the right size.

The following table shows the recommended stitch counts and measurements for different sizes:

Size	number of stitches	Back Length (cm)	Front part length (cm)	hip circumference (cm)
S	80	60	55	85
M	90	65	60	95
L	100	70	65	105
XL	110	75	70	115

personalization options

There are various ways to personalize the pullover. These can affect the design, the colors and the materials used. Some ideas for personalization include:

Color selection : Different colors can be combined to create a unique look.
Patterns : Incorporating knitting patterns, such as cables or seed stitches, can give the sweater a special touch.
Embellishments : Adding patches or appliqués can enhance the sweater.
Collar and cuffs : Changing the style of collar or cuffs can give the sweater a different look.

Through these adjustments and individual design options, every knitter can create a unique oversized pullover that matches her personal style.

final works and finishing touches

Casting off and sewing the threads

After each part of the pullover has been knitted, it is important to finish the work properly. This includes casting off the stitches and sewing off the ends to ensure a neat finish.

Cast off : To cast off the stitches, make sure that the last row is completely knitted. Then follow this procedure:

Knit the first stitch of the row.
Knit the next stitch.
Pull the first stitch over the second.
Repeat this process until all stitches are cast off.
Leave enough yarn to secure the last stitch.

Sewing the threads : All loose threads must be carefully sewn to avoid a messy appearance. Use a needle and the original thread to hide the ends in the sewn part. Make sure that the threads are not visible through the knitted fabric.

Tip: It is recommended to use threads of the same yarn as the knitted piece to avoid color variations.

Proper care of your pullover ensures that it stays beautiful for a long time. Here are some basic care tips:

Dry	Dry flat to maintain shape.
