This stunning piece of artwork is, at first, knitted flat (on size US6 needles) and then is joined to knit in the round. Sweaterly Heaven is worked from top down and is raglan style. It features cables and beads (optional!). What is so wonderful about this pattern is that it can be knitted to fit ANYONE! It starts with a neck measurement that determines the cast-on amount. All measurements listed help you design the perfect fitting sweater. This design also features a FABULOUSLY sturdy and beautiful underarm! The gauge is: 5.5 stitches per inch.
