The sweater is a bottom - up project that is worked in the round using a circular yoke construction. First sleeves and the body are knitted separately. All pieces are joined together for the yoke. The yoke is created by working decreases which are followed by short rows to lower the front neckline. Finally, the neckline stitches are bound off.

Pattern comes in sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9, 10).
Bust measurements of finished garment: 70 (80, 90, 100, 110) (120, 130, 140, 150, 160) cm (27.5 (31.5, 35.5, 39.25, 43.25) (47.25, 51.25, 55, 59, 63) inches).

Size guide
To determine the best size for you and your preferences, measure the fullest part of your bust and compare it to the table above. The sweater is designed to be worn with around 2.5-7.5 cm 1-3 inch of positive ease. Due to the nature of the stitch pattern, the fabric it creates is not very stretchy fabric, however, I haven’t found the jumper to limit my movement. Consider as well how you would like to wear it and if you have a particular outfit in mind, maybe measure yourself whilst wearing the outfit. The measurements in the above table are of the finished garment. I have an 88cm bust and I made size 3 which gave me 2cm 1 inch of positive ease to achieve a fitted look.

Yarn
7 (8, 8, 9, 9) (11, 12, 13, 14, 15) balls of Hobbii Divina (65 % Alpaca, 25 % Polyamide, 10 % wool; 150m / 164yds per 50g ball) - 2 strands held together throughout

Allow a minimum of one extra ball or two if you wish to add length to the sleeves and a minimum of one extra ball if you wish to extend jumper length.

All amounts are estimated.
