Notes on Sizing

The fit of the jumper is relaxed which means that 25cm of positive ease have been incorporated into the fit. The Bust Circumference shown is for the finished garment. Measure your bust circumference and add 25cm to this measurement to determine what size you should knit. If you prefer a less oversized look then consider going down a size.

Notes on Construction

Starting with the neck, the neckband is knit to double the depth required then folded in half and joined to the cast on edge. Short rows lower the front neckline whilst raglan increases add width to the yoke and the sleeves. Once the yoke has been fully formed, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold whilst the body is completed. The live sleeve stitches are then placed on circular needles and knitted in the round. There is no seaming or sewing required.
