The Study Hour Sweater is a cute, slightly cropped, oversized pullover. It has V-neck shaping, a picked up collar, and is worked top down (flat for the armhole shaping, then in the round for the remainder of the body and sleeves) with a sloped drop shoulder construction. There is a high and low V neck option, with the high V neck sitting just below the hollow of your throat, and the low V neck sitting more around the middle of your sternum. The collar, cuffs and bottom edge have a 1x1 ribbed hem. The sweater is designed to fall to a slightly cropped level. The pattern is intended to be a boxy fit, but has options for waist shaping if desired, as well as adding extra length as needed for the body and sleeves. This is a size inclusive design, written for 10 sizes (32-68 inch / 80-170 cm finished bust, in 4 inch / 10 cm increments) and designed for 4-8 inches / 10-20 cm of positive ease.

Sizes offered:
1 (2, 3, 4)(5, 6, 7){8, 9, 10}

Finished sweater bust of:
32 (36, 40, 44)(48, 52, 56){60, 64, 68} inches / 80 (90, 100, 110)(120, 130, 140){150, 160, 170} cm

To fit actual bust of:
24-28 (28-32, 32-36, 36-40)(40-44, 44-48, 48-52){52-56, 56-60, 60-64} inches / 60-70 (70-80, 80-90, 90-100)(100-110, 110-120, 120-130){130-140, 140-150, 150-160} cm

Note: The sizes reflect the FINISHED bust measurements in inches / cm of the sweater, and listed below you can see the recommended actual bust range for each size. The sweater is designed for 4-8 inches / 10-20 cm of positive ease. To determine the size you wish to knit, measure your bust and add 4-8 inches / 10-20 cm to find the closest size. If you are in between sizes, size down for a snugger fit, or up for a looser fit. My sample is knit with 8 inches / 20 cm of positive ease (Size 4 on a 36 inch / 90 cm bust and 30 inch / 75 cm waist).
Note: If you are fairly busty, you may want to use a lower positive ease, or knit a size based on your upper bust measurement rather than your full bust measurement. This will help prevent the sweater being too loose around the rest of your torso.

Needles recommended:
4.5 mm / US 7 / UK 7 (or size needed to obtain gauge) - main body
4 mm / US 6 / UK 8 (or size needed to obtain gauge) - ribbing
Cord length to match your bust measurement as well as 9-16 inch / 22.5-40 cm cord for the sleeves (or DPNs or 32-40 inch / 80-100 cm cord for the magic loop method).

Gauge (blocked):
Using 4.5 mm / US 7 / UK 7 (body) needles and working in stockinette
I recommend swatching both in the round and flat, as parts of the sweater are knit flat before joining in the round. If your flat gauge is significantly different than your round gauge, you can adjust needle size for the flat portion.

4 x 4 inch / 10 x 10 cm = 20 sts x 28 rows/rounds

Yarn recommended:
Any DK (3) weight yarn, or a Fingering + Lace combo, that you can match gauge with.

Note: If you are doing your sweater in DK, follow the first set of yardage above. If you are doing your sweater in fingering + suri, follow both sets of yardage above. The Low V neck version will use approx. 20 (24, 27, 30){33, 36, 40}(44, 48, 52)yds / 18 (22, 25, 27){30, 33, 37}(40, 44, 48) m less than the above estimates.

Note: Yardage is an approximation and is calculated using the recommended measurements (see schematics in photos). Allow for extra yardage if choosing to add length. Yardage can vary depending on your gauge and knitting, so I always recommend buying extra in case you require more yardage.
