This sweater is oversized, super soft and has a slightly wide neckline. Part of it is knitted in Fair Isle pattern. It is knitted from bottom up, while holding two yarns together throughout the whole sweater. The sweater has a bust circumference that will give you approx. 12 cm of positive ease and has 4 panels that will be sewn together with the blanket stitch. The sleeves are nice and long and the cuff can be worn turned up or down (for an extra long sleeve look). Each pattern size has its customized pattern parts (on graph paper) to fit its front, back and sleeve panels.
