Sizing
Tired of being stuck in-between sizes? I’ve got you covered with a generous selection of 20 sizes to choose from. The pattern is crafted with approximately 7.3 cm / 3 inches of positive ease, ensuring a comfortable fit. Check out the comprehensive sizing breakdown in the photo section to find the perfect fit for you.

Construction
The Seismic Sweater is worked from the top down and in the round, starting with a folded or non-folded ribbed neckline. The circular yoke features a delightful colourwork pattern, regular increase rounds, and short row shaping for a flattering fit. The body and sleeves are seamlessly split from the yoke, with smaller sizes continuing the colourwork into the body.

Customize your Seismic Sweater with two sets of colourwork charts - one with the main colour as the light colour and the other reversed with the main colour as the dark colour.
