Vilia Sweater is designed to fit with 2-4 in (5-10 cm) of positive ease at the bust and 1 ½ - 2 in (4-5 cm) of positive ease at the upper arm. The sweater is worked seamlessly from top down.

First some short rows are worked back and forth to raise the back neck. Then the yoke with mosaic pattern on the front is worked in rounds to the separation point for body and sleeves. The lower body is worked in rounds to the bottom. Sleeves are worked top down to the cuffs. The length of the body and sleeves (designed as ¾ but can be worked as sleeveless) is easily adjustable.

Note: Gauge is extremely important for this project. Both for the width and for the height. If your gauge is off, the yoke will not grow proportionally as needed, and the fit will be different. Please, make a proper gauge swatch, block and measure it.

You can choose from two options of mosaic: Diamonds or Zigzags

The pattern was thoroughly tested and professionally tech edited.
