Butterscotch sweater is knitted top down, starting with the back yoke which is worked back and forth (while shaping with short rows) till it’s finished. After that sts are picked up across the shoulders to form the front yoke, then the body is worked in the round. Stitches for sleeves are then picked up across the armholes and worked in the round as well.

This sweater has approximately 12-20 cm of positive ease.

Please note that any change in gauge or switching to yarn of different composition might not give you the same finished measurements or finished look.

If you want to knit this in size 3XL, kindly contact me! It isn’t available in that size as I couldn’t get test knitters to test it, and I don’t want anyone to pay for a pattern and knit a size that hasn’t been tested. So if you would like to test knit this, send me a message and I’ll send you the pattern for free!
