Finished goods for sale-Knitted Streets of Copenhagen

Detail
Knitted Streets of Copenhagen is an oversized sweater inspired by old Copenhagen’s narrow and winding streets. This big and chunky sweater showcases both curves and straight lines, and it is both casual and sophisticated at the same time – just like Copenhagen is to us. The sweater is very oversized with extralong sleeves but the sleeves can easily be made shorter if that is your preference.
It is worked from the top down following charts and using 2 strands of Heavy Merino + 2 strands of Soft Silk Mohair held together throughout. You start working the front and back, back and forth, before work is joined and continued in the round for the body and sleeves.Knitted Streets of Copenhagen is designed with positive ease. To choose the correct size, look at the ‘to fit chest circumference’ measurements on the previous page. If your actual chest circumference is, say, 98 cm [38½”], you should choose to knit a size 2 in order to achieve the intended fit.

Love the vibe and the warmth but the sleeve length runs long on my 5’2” frame — had to roll them twice. Still delivered on [痛点2] ‘looking artsy while running errands’ so I’ll keep it

As someone who burns up in cotton but freezes in acrylic — this knit is my thermal peace treaty. Warm and comfortable without the sweat-suit vibe. Fixed my [痛点3] ‘temperature-confused-body-during-coffee-shop-laptop-marathons’ once and for all

Cozy AF and fits like a hug from your most stylish friend. Only reason it’s not 5 stars? The oatmeal color faded *slightly* after two cold washes — still solved my [痛点1] ‘sweater that won’t make me shiver through Zoom calls’ need though

Finally a knit that doesn’t itch like a woolly interrogation — soft, warm, and looks like it wandered straight out of a Copenhagen café window. Solved my [痛点1] cold-shoulders-during-morning-commute problem like a silent Scandinavian hero
