#sizeinclusive

Although this pattern has been named a men’s pattern, it is by no means gender exclusive and can be knit by and for anyone. The pattern’s name includes gender simply to indicate that North American industry standards for men were used during drafting. A version using woman’s standard body measurements can be found here. I hope you are able to find a sweater for your own unique body type somewhere within the scope of these two patterns.
