These pages contain so much more than a knitting pattern. Not only do they provide instructions for an exceptionally fitting top, they also include a myriad of optional worksheets for customization that can be used in this design and others in the future. You’ll have a sweater that fits your shoulders just as well as it fits your bust thanks to extensive options accounting for the difference between your upper and full bust measurements. Choose between two different waist shaping styles depending on if you prefer to minimize or maximize your curves, or skip the shaping for a straight fit. Aside from customizing the fit at your bust, optional, easy worksheets are provided should you like to modify the waist or sleeve length of this perfect sweater. Intimidated by worksheets? Don’t be, these particular worksheets already include the specific pattern information needed to complete them easily. This sweater is a top-down, seamless set-in sleeve construction. My test knitters are awesome. Check them out here! A Low Vision Version of handbook is also included.

Sweater is shown in Size 3, Option 1, with no ease at Upper Bust and approx 1”/2.5 cm ease at Full Bust.

This pattern handbook includes very detailed instructions to make it accessible for knitters with at least one sweater under their belt, ready to learn some new techniques and follow just a short section of work AT THE SAME TIME. Knitters should be comfortable with, or ready to learn, the following techniques: picking up stitches, basic increasing and decreasing and a provisional cast-on. Instructions are provided for tubular bind-off and 4 worksheets are included to help create a perfect fit.
