Designed to be a wardrobe essential, Snowland is worked from the top-down using the contiguous set-in sleeve method. This ensures a comfortable, refined fit that will stay on your shoulders. Combined ribbing and garter stitch on the shawl collar and deep ribbed cuffs provide simple yet strikingly handsome style details.

Sizes

1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
Finished bust circumference: 83 (91.25, 97.5, 108.25, 114.5, 125, 131.25, 139.75) cm / 32.5 (36, 38.5, 42.5, 45, 49.25, 51.75, 55)” - recommended to be worn with 3.5-7.25 cm / 1.5-3” of positive ease at the bust.

To choose your appropriate size, measure your upper bust circumference (right under your armpits), add the recommended ease, and then choose the size with finished measurements closest to that number. If you are between sizes and unsure which to pick, choose the smaller size. This sweater needs to fit neatly in the shoulders and should not be made for an oversized fit.
