CONSTRUCTION NOTES

Isabelle Sweater is knitted top down and seamlessly. First you knit the neck edge, then fold it and knit it together. Continuing knitting in the round while dividing the stitches into raglan-, sleeves- and body stitches. When all raglan increases are worked you’re going to divide the work into sleeves and body. The work is finished with tight fitted ribbed edges.

SIZE GUIDE

Isabelle sweater is an oversized sweater with a positive ease of approximately 10-15 cm compared to your accurate bust circumference. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (XXL) correspond to a bust circumference of 85 (90) 95 (100) 105 (112) cm. The final measurements of the sweater have already built in this positive ease of 10-15 cm. Measure yourself to determine the right size before you start knitting. If you are between two sizes you should knit the bigger size.

Please note: I designed and translated the pattern myself. Minor (grammar) mistakes can occur in the pattern. The pattern was test-knitted by 10 experienced knitters so it should be good to go. If you have any questions related to the pattern, please feel free to contact me.
