Domestika Sweater
The sweater is made from lovely and soft yarn spun into a thin net. The yarn is very
light even though it’s meant for a 10 mm needle. The pattern is beginner-friendly
and a fast knit. Choose your favorite colors and make your sweater even more
personal by embroidering on it at the end.

I recommend that you make a swatch measuring 20 x 20
cm, so you can measure the tension correct. It’s important
to stick to the right tension, else the work won’t meet the
described measurements. Therefore, it is even more
important to be aware if you choose another yarn than
the described.

Suggested needles: 8 mm circular needle (60-80 cm + Note: The sweater is worked in 2 threats of yarn and
double pointed needles unless you are working with magic bottom-up and has a very loose fit. I recommend that you
