The Gabriella Sweater is seamless and is worked top-down in stockinette stitch using 3 strands of Pima cotton from Miss Svensson. Raglan increases are made around the neckline in 4 places, and when the yoke is completed, the work is divided so that the sleeves can be knit separately. The front and back pieces are joined and worked in the round with a circular needle after stitches are cast on under the armholes. Decreases are made along the sides of the body to create a slightly tighter fit at the bottom. The cuffs and body are finished with Icelandic bind-off (or regular if desired), and the straight sleeves are decreased towards the end to create a slightly puffy finish. The sweater has a loose fit and should have approximately 15 cm more ease than your bust measurement.
