SIZES
9 sizes available. Choose a size 5-8cm/2-6” larger than your full chest circumference.

Finished sweater full chest circumference: 85.5 (99, 108.5, 118, 129.5) (137, 146.5, 160, 167.5)cm / 33¾ (39, 42¾, 46½, 51) (54, 57¾, 63, 66)“

The pattern includes a schematic diagram and a detailed measurements chart.

YARN
The pattern sample features a worsted-spun 4-ply/fingering weight yarn which is knit at a very loose tension to create a drapey fabric.

Swatch carefully if substituting yarns; choosing a heavier-weight yarn at this gauge will produce a much more robust fabric.
