About the design:

’In a jiffy’ is knit from the top down. The neckline is based on the invisible cast on / provisional cast on.

The design is meant to be slightly oversize with wide sleeves that are longer than the body of the sweater.

The measurements are taken on the piece before use – the sweater will stretch a bit when used.

The model in the picture is 169 cm high and use a size S, the sweater in the picture is a size XS.

The body of the sweater is short, just below the belt area. If you want to add to the body length, it is a good idea to finish the sleeves and lengthen the body with the leftover colours remaining.
