Knitting pattern NETTIE SWEATER - oversized chunky sweater with special sleeves

The NETTIE SWEATER is a beautiful knitted sweater with a special combination of stitches, which gives a lovely effect. With this easy and clear pattern you can get started knitting your own eyecatcher. This chunky knit can be combined with many outfit styles: a skinny jeans and sneakers, leather-look leggings with Uggs or you can wear it with a maxi skirt and your favorite boots. This pattern is also available with a V-neck.

STITCHES AND ABBREVIATIONS
I believe that the sweater is not very difficult to knit, but you do need some knitting experience. The techniques you need for this knitting pattern are: 

• Knit (K) and purl (P) stitches alternated (rib stitch)
• Knit (K) and purl (P) rows alternated (stockinette stitch)
• Mattress stitch (to seam the sweater up)
  

• Knitting needles: 10 mm (US15 / UK000)
• Tapestry needle to seam the sweater up.
• Scissors

YARN 
The yarn I used for the sample in the pictures:
I held five strands of yarn together for the sample. I used three strands of Drops Baby Merino (100% wool) in the color 33 and two strands of Drops Kid Silk (75% mohair / 25% silk) in the color 21.  I used 12 balls of Drops Baby Merino (2100 meters / 700 meters per strand) and 8 balls of Drops Kid Silk (1600 meters / 800 meters per strand). For size L/XL, you need 3 more balls of Drops Baby Merino.

Any yarn or yarn combination suitable for a 10 mm needle can be used to knit this sweater. I recommended knitting a swatch, especially when using a substitute yarn.
