The Football Jersey 2.0

Difficulty level: 2-3⭐️ out of 5⭐️ (It’s helpful to practice color changes beforehand, but they are thoroughly explained in the pattern + tutorial-videos)

Description of difficulty levels

 

1⭐️ out of 5⭐️

Patterns marked with 1⭐️ are suitable for beginners, there are help videos and no difficult techniques.

 

2⭐️ out of 5⭐️

Patterns marked with 2⭐️ are suitable for the slightly experienced knitter who still doesn't want difficult techniques but a project with a bit more detail.

 

4 and 5⭐️ out of 5⭐️

I don't yet have patterns that complicated or full of difficult techniques if these levels apply. They are simply there so that the knitter can put the degrees of difficulty into perspective.

Needles

Circular needle size 4 mm (60, 80 or 100 cm – depending on the increasing number of stitches) and circular needle size 3.5 mm for the edges

Knitting tension

One strand on needle size 4 mm in stocking stitch with color change: 10 x 10 cm = 21 sts x 26 rows after washing and blocking

The pattern is based on three fixed neckline measurements:
38 (42) 46 cm

The neckline measurement refers to the finished neck opening along the folded edge and is chosen based on the desired neck fit. The body is worked made-to-measure, independent of the neckline measurement.

Ease

The pattern is based on three different neck measurements, from which the body is gradually shaped. Measure your own neck circumference and decide which fit you prefer based on the finished measurements provided.

Choose a size close to your actual neck measurement for a more fitted look or size up for a more relaxed and open collar.

Measurements of work

The pattern is based on three fixed neckline measurements:
38 (42) 46 cm

Choose a size close to your actual neck measurement for a more fitted look or size up for a more relaxed and open collar.

The green Football Jersey is knitted in size 3. Emil’s measurements are 105 cm at the chest and 84 cm at the waist.
He is 198 cm tall.

The pattern includes detailed instructions on how to achieve the same fit as the original green Football Jersey. These can be used as a starting point when adjusting the pattern to suit your own measurements.

Hand wash at around 40°C with wool detergent. Lay flat to dry on blocking mats, stretching the piece into the desired shape and securing it with blocking pins. This process allows for a few extra centimeters, as the fabric is easier to shape.
