Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

This pattern is size inclusive, and is designed for 28 to 62 inch busts. Additional grading is available on request! Size 9 remains untested. If you are size 9, I will happily provide a refund for your purchase in exchange for feedback on this size!

For sizing, I recommend chosing a size that provides a sweater that is 6 to 8 inches larger than your bust measurement (i.e, 6 to 8 inches of positive ease). Bust measurements (of your body) are recommendations based on the intended fit, however you can size up or down to your preference. Please note that the intended fit of this sweater is oversized, boxy, and slightly cropped. It is intended to drape straight down and not have a tight waistband. The top of the split hem was designed to hit at the top of your hip. If you’d like your sweater to be longer, this is a simple modification that is described in the pattern. Yarn yardage estimates below are for the pattern as written. Adding length to the pattern will require more yarn.
