About the sweater
The Cinderella sweater is a very thick sweater, and has a somewhat oversized fit. The sweater itself is suitable even for beginners, as long as you have a good understanding of knitting tension.
The fact that the sweater is knitted with two threads makes it thick. The outside width will then be somewhat different from the inside width (positive ease). I am 95 cm in width and I think size M fits me best, which has a width of 110 cm.
So it will be important to have a swatch, and feel free to knit this in the round. Feel free to steam the work along the way to get a better idea of whether you have the right knitting tension, as it can be challenging to knit evenly on such thick needles. If you get 13 stitches instead of 12 in knitting tension, this is 10 cm in size L...
If you don't steam the sweater during the process, the sweater may have a slightly odd fit before steaming or blocking. Don't despair.
The sweater is knitted with 3 different colors at the same time all the way through, except for the rib. It is a good idea to take one thread from the outside and one from the inside of the ball, this way you don't have to keep track of 6 balls at the same time.
