Regensberg
This soft hug of a pullover brings you the peace of the forest, thanks to its generous cowlneck, extra-long sleeves and gently wandering cables. Whether out in the woods or curled up on the sofa, it’s your wearable security blanket.

Bust: 83 (91.5, 101.5, 112, 122, 132, 142, 152.5, 162.5) cm / 32.75 (36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64) in. Shown in size L with 2.5 cm / 1 in negative ease at full bust.
If using a pure alpaca yarn as recommended, this garment is likely to grow out with wear, enhancing the relaxed feel, so factor that into your choice of size. A wool blend will retain its shape better, so you might allow more ease.

Notes
The sweater is worked in the round from the bottom up, with exposed sleeve and shoulder seams. It is worked inside out to minimise purling.
You will need to follow multiple sets of shaping instructions at the same time (these at-the-same-time sections are clearly flagged). Use of a row counter or two is recommended!
