Memory sweater is a perfect project if you want to learn how to knit a pattern with several colors. The pattern is only knitted from the right side, and the pattern is small, which makes it easier to tighten the strands accordingly. At the same time the Memory sweater is a fun way to use your scrap yarns. You literally knit small memories from other projects into it

Selecting your size
The sizing is very flexible. It can work as an oversized sweater or as a more fitted sweater. Therefore, decide how much positive ease you prefer when selecting what size to make. Choose the size with a circumference of 12-18 cm 4,5-7 inches larger than your widest measurement, which would give you 12-18 cm 4,5-7 inches of positive ease. The beige Memory sweater is pictured here in size M (positive ease approx. 28 cm 11 inches). The dark brown Memory sweater is pictured here in size S (positive ease approx. 20 cm 8 inches). The length is measured at the centre back, including the neckband.

Construction notes
Memory sweater is worked top down. The neckline is double and is knitted together. After the neckline is completed, short rows are worked to make the back longer than the front. Then the yoke with pattern and increases are worked (both are shown in the chart). Raglan increases are worked. Sleeves and body are then worked one at a time.
