Sizing: Sample is shown in Size 4 with approximately .5”/1.5 cm positive ease at the Upper Bust. This construction method is designed to be tailored for a flattering fit at the neckline & shoulders, choose the size that is closest to your Upper Bust/Chest (UB) measurement as opposed to your Full Bust (FB), even if it means sizing down. Because the sweater is A-line, you’ll have additional fabric by the time you get to your FB length.

Skills needed: Pattern is designed for intermediate level knitters comfortable with reading their work and tracking shaping over various garment areas. In addition to basic knitting skills, knitters should be comfortable with provisional & cable CO, picking up stitches & short row shaping. Pattern includes written instructions for a basic W&T and optional Tubular Hems (not shown on sample).
