Sizes range from 32” - 64” bust.

Sizes are labeled as 1 - 9 and are separated in two PDF’s: 1 - 5 on one PDF and sizes 6 - 9 on a second PDF. I did this so that it would make the page count smaller and save everyone some paper and ink (gee golly ink is expensive!!). You can even skim through the pattern and skip printing some pages that don’t have instructions for your size on them and save even more ink and paper!

Sizes 1 - 9 correlate to the finished bust measurement below.

Notes:

• This sweater is constructed from the neck down then separated into the torso and sleeves. The torso is worked and finished, then the sleeve stitches are picked back up knitted down to the cuff.

• Fit: This sweater is designed to be a little spacious in the armpits so that it fits a vast spectrum of sizes amidst the average bust sizes listed below.

• It’s easiest to follow this pattern by printing it out, but if you don’t have access to a printer, holding your phone sideways will work!

• This pattern uses 30” circular knitting needles, if you are making a larger size, you may want to consider using 40” needles so that it’s easier to move your stitches across with greater ease.
