This is not a physical product! This is a knitting pattern. If you buy this thinking it is a physical product, you cannot get a refund!

This is a knitting pattern suitable for intermediate knitters. The example uses the ’no waste’ yarn technique which consists of holding different strands of yarn together. There is a guide for this technique in the pattern. The sweater has a ribbed collar and a drop-shoulder. The sweater fits baggy because it has about a 40 centimetre positive ease, meaning the bust of the sweater is about 40 centimetres bigger than the bust of the person wearing it.
