A classic v-neck with a few unique elements to catch the eye. Recluse features slipped raglan stitches and double knit hem, sleeves, and neckline. It’s constructed on the wrong side, then turned inside out to reveal the reverse stockinette and faux button band running down the center. Knit flat from the top down, then joined in the round after v-neck shaping is complete. A perfect summer staple.

Sizes

Finished Bust Circumference
The body of the sweater is based off the final bust measurement and has about 4”/10 cm of positive ease. I recommend choosing a finished bust measurement that is about 4”/10 cm larger than your actual bust measurement. For example, I have a 36” (91 cm) bust measurement, and I knit Size 3

Finished measurements (including the positive ease) after blocking:
Bust circumference: 32” (36, 40, 44, 48) 52, 56, 60, 64 / {81 (91, 102, 112, 122) 132, 142, 152, 162 cm}
