V Love Sweater
DESCRIPTION
The VLove Sweater has an eye-catching, interesting shape, without being too special to wear every day.
It’s designed with a clever but simple construction, with the V-shape of the neck and front panels is created by
increases and decreases only. The VLove Sweater is worked top-down, with decorative eyelet lines alongside
raglan and front and back increases.
It’s worked mostly in stockinette stitch but never gets boring, as you work decreases and increases every other
round.
We love to see your knits on social media. Please use #VLOVESWEATER and #ivnknit

EASE + HOW TO PICK YOUR SIZE
Sizing is a guide only and you should pick the finished measurement size closest to the wearer’s measurements
plus 10-20 cm (4-8 inches) of positive ease. The sweater has a relaxed / boxy fit, so if you like a more fitted style just
choose a size smaller or less ease. On pictures you see a size M1 worn with around 17 cm of positive ease.
There is an instruction on page 4 to adjust the circumference of the sleeves. So when you have picked a size according to your bust measurements you can easily make the sleeve narrower or wider.
