Size selection
Porcelain sweater has an intended positive ease of approx. 15-20 cm (6-8 inches). The one pictured has 25 cm (10 inches) positive ease. This means the sweater has a circumference of 25 cm (10 inches) more than the model wearing it. Length is measured in the middle of the back, excluding the neck band.

Construction
The sweater is worked from the top. You start at the top of the back, then form the back of the shoulders down to the bottom of the armholes. Then, the front section of the shoulders is worked, and the neckline is shaped. You can choose whether you want to work the shoulders with short rows OR cast on sts separately, then seam the shoulders together later. Instructions are provided for both.
When the upper sections of the back and front sections are completed, they are joined in the round and the body is finished on a circular needle in the round. Stitched are then picked up along the armholes with double-pointed needles (or with magic loop) and the sleeves are worked top - down. Finally, stitches are picked up around the neckline to make a folded neckband.
