Gabriella’s Big Way is worked in the round from the lower edge to the underarm, then the Front and Back are worked separately back and forth. The Front is split to form a zipper placket, which is finished with an I-Cord edge. Sleeves are worked down from the armhole to cuff.

The sweater is designed with positive ease of 3” to 8” / 8 cm to 20 cm.
