The sweater is worked in the round from the top down, beginning with 1x1 twisted rib for the double folded neckband. Next, German short rows are worked to shape the back of the neck with raglan increases. The yoke is then worked in the round, with raglan increases to the underarm. The sleeve stitches are set aside and the body is worked in the round. At the hem, the piece is split into front and back. Both front and back are worked back and forth at once, forming the slits at the sides. Sleeves are worked top-down in the round.

SIZE GUIDE

To pick the correct size, measure yourself with a measuring tape around your bust. The recommended ease is 12 to 25 cm / 4¾ to 9¾”.

Make a speed swatch (about 15~20 cm in width and height) with your yarns, check your gauge and adjust needle size and desired ease accordingly.

Please note that the finished measurements can only be achieved if the sweater is knitted in the correct gauge.
