The sweater is knitted from the top down. After the two-coloured part,
short rows are made to raise the back to make a good fit, then the work
is divided for body and sleeves. The body and sleeves are cast off with an
i-cord. The sweater has a low neckline and a loose fit.
Size:
A(B)C(D)E(F)G = Bust circumference: 84(90)100(108)114(124)132 cm (33,1 (35,4)39,4(42,5)44,9 (48,8) 52 ”)
These measurements indicate the finished size. The sweater is designed to be worn with 5-10cm (2-4”) of positive ease.
Please note that some yarns stretch after washing and blocking. To be sure of how much your sweater will stretch in washing, make a make a 10x10cm (4x4”) swatch and soak up to see how much bigger the sweater will be.
Gauge: 20 sts and 26 rnds = 10cm (4”) with 4 mm (US 6) needles
Take time to check the gauge. Even small changes in the gauge can make a big difference in size. Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.

Needles:
Circular needle 3,5 mm and 4 mm (US 4 and 6) in a length that fits your size. I work with the magic loop method which make it possible to knit the whole work using the same cable-length. There are many videos on the internet that show this method.
5 markers. (tip: you do not need anything fancy, I tie small loops of scrap yarn)
