Cozy Sweater for Adults
The Cozy sweater is oversized, the positive ease is +16-20 cm (6.2-7.8 in) to chest circumference, depending on the size. The sweater is worked from the top down, seamlessly.
First, make the neckband, then shape the back part with short rows for a better fit. Make the raglan lines in the round. Separate the sleeve stitches and work the body to the desired length. The sleeves are worked last.
Size recommendations: sizes XS (S) // M (L) XL /// 2XL (3XL) 4XL correspond to chest circumference of 80-84 (84-88) // 92-96 (96-100) 104-110 /// 110-116 (116-122) 122-128 cm;
31.4-33 (33-34.6) // 36.2-37.7 (37.7-39.3) 40.9-43.3 /// 43.3-45.6 (45.6-48) 48-50.3 in.
When choosing the size, measure the chest circumference and add the ease. For example: chest circumference is 96 cm (37.7 in). 96 + 16 = 112 cm (44 in) – choose М.
For a looser fit, choose L, then the ease is +20 cm (7.8 in).
