The sweater has a bust circumference that will give you approx. 10 cm of positive ease and has 4 panels that will be sewn together with the blanket stitch. The sleeves are nice and long and can be worn turned up or down (for an extra long sleeve look). Each pattern size has its customized pattern parts (on graph paper) to fit its front, back and sleeve panels.
