MEASUREMENTS
Chest circumference: 117 (133, 150) cm or 46 (52.5, 59) inches

Sleeve Length from underarm is approximately 40 cm or 15.75 inches in length = 8 x 4.7 (7 x 5.3, 6 x 6) = 37.6 (37, 36) cm + cuff or 8 x 1.8 (7 x 2, 6 x 2.4) inches = 14.4 (14, 14.4) inches + cuff
The exact amount of yarn depends on the desired width and length of the sweater. Therefore, the suggested yarn is only an approximation.
CONSTRUCTION NOTES
The sweater is knitted from the top to the bottom. Stitches are cast on for the neckline. Then, the stitches of the yoke are increased evenly as worked in the sample. Sleeve stitches are set aside and additional stitches are cast on at the underarm locations to form the Body. The Body is worked in pattern to the desired length and finished with a band in ribbing. Then, the Sleeves are completed.
