DESCRIPTION

BUBBLY is a squishy textured treat of a sweater designed for a cozy, relaxed fit. The pattern features top-down, seamless raglan construction, allowing you to check the fit as you go, and optional instructions for modifying the fit as needed without disrupting the bubbles. This satisfying knit makes for a classic but fun pullover that will easily become a staple in your wardrobe.

 
SIZING

All of my garment patterns are #sizeinclusive to fit up to at least a 60”/150cm full chest circumference.

TO FIT UPPER BUST/CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE:
In inches: (38, 42, 46) [50, 54, 58] {62, 66, 70}
In centimeters: (95, 105, 115) [125, 135, 145] {155, 165, 175}

To choose your size, measure the circumference of your torso around the fullest part of your bust/chest and choose a size that fits with 6-10”/15-25cm of positive ease at the bust/chest.

In the photos, Jaq (they/them) is wearing is size 8 (66”/165cm) with 8”/20cm of positive ease at the chest.
