Jodi's Sweater
Jodi’s Sweater is a layering piece that’s stylish enough to make a statement, yet cozy enough to be your go-to pullover for lounging around the house. The knitting is straight-forward, but the construction gives it the added twist - literally!
Note: Instructions include a Special Techniques section with photo tutorials for Crochet Provisional Cast On, Tubular Cast On, Tubular Bind Off and Kitchener Stitch.
Size
I recommend choosing the size that fits your cross-back, which is measured from shoulder tip to shoulder tip. The pattern is written for cross-back measurements of 14 (14.5, 16, 17, 17.5, 18, 18)”/35.5 (37, 40.5, 43, 44.5, 45.5, 45.5) cm, to fit with generous (>10”/25 cm) ease at the bust. The largest 2 sizes differ only in sleeve dimensions; please check the schematic to determine the correct size.
