The first picture here is of me as a 36” bust wearing this 42” sweater, so it’s got about 6” of positive ease on me. I modified the neckline to pull the sweater up a bit! You’ll see it’s different in the pattern and on Lily, who is wearing the same sweater in all the other pictures. Originally I picked up 156 sts around the neckline - 70 back and 86 front, but pulled it out and picked up 114 - 53 back and 61 front, and also worked the collar an extra 1/2”. Now the sweater fits me perfectly!

My favorite pattern from the collection to knit and a total process knit, Henri is jaw dropping! Side to side construction is killer, and every few inches you change a stitch pattern or cast on for the body or change up the neckline. It’s SO CUTE I could die.

A quick note about gauge - I knit this sample in a size larger knitting needle to get gauge. The size turned out great!
