The fabric is made with a modified brioche stitch, while the cuffs and body ribbing use traditional brioche for extra detail. The suggested yarn options make it adaptable for different seasons. Although the sweater is designed with set-in sleeves, knitting a few sizes larger gives it a relaxed, drop-shoulder look.

This pattern has an extended version with multiple options:

SIZES
1 (2) 3 (4) 5 (6) 7 (8)

are meant to suit bust circumference of:
74-82 (82-90) 90-98 (98-106) 106-116 (116-124) 124-132 (132-140) cm.
The model in white has bust circumference of 83 cm and wears size 2, whereas model in blue version - 80 cm and size 7.

MEASUREMENTS
Length (measured from the center of the back):
49.5 (50.5) 53.5 (53.5) 55.5 (55.5) 55.5 (55.5) cm.

Width:
46 (52) 56 (62) 66 (72) 76 (82) cm.

FIT
It is recommended to allow for 20-30 cm of positive ease for a set-in sleeve version. If your bust circumference is 85 cm, adding 20-30 cm of positive ease would give a finished garment circumference of 105-115 cm, placing you between sizes 2 and 3. Opt for size 3 if you prefer a more relaxed fit. For a dropped shoulder look, choose two or three sizes larger than your usual.
