The Red Lantern Sweater came to my mind when I was craving for a knitwear with wine red and turquoise colour palette. As an amateur knitter, it is the first time I tried to include different sizes. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns about the measures or calculation. The model I knitted is in the size XS.

The Red Lantern Sweater is knitted with Icelandic yarns top down seamlessly, with side splits where the back piece is longer than the front, to add a feminine feature and help identify the front and back side of the sweater, because no short-row tech is applied. The sleeved are shaped by decreasing stitches and long hems, to create an elegant visual.

I plan to release the pattern for free for couple of weeks:)

Size
Chest circumference after blocking (soaking in lukewarm water and flat drying) is:

• XS: 86 cm
• S: 92 cm

For example, if your chest circumference is 89 cm, then you may knit the size S.
