A cozy, lightweight, and elegant sweater with an oversized and comfortable fit. The sweater is knitted top-down, starting from the neck, using one strand of Luftig and one strand of Lett. In the photos, I’m wearing the sweater knitted in size (M/L), and I usually wear a medium.

The entire sweater is knitted holding one strand of Luftig and one strand of Lett together.
For a solid-colored version of the sweater in size M/L, I used 5 skeins of each yarn quality.
NEEDLES AND GAUGE
Circular needles 80 cm and 40 cm, sizes 6 mm and 5 mm.
Double-pointed needles, size 5 mm.
It’s helpful to have an extra needle or cable to make it easier to knit the front and back sections separately.
17 stitches in stockinette stitch with one strand of each yarn on size 6 mm needles = 10 cm width.
