The pattern includes charts for all letters and instructions on how to embroider the letter using the duplicate stitch method

Construction

The sweater is knitted in 2 strands, top down with raglan in the round. The neck is folded and knitted together to form a double neck. Then increases along the raglan lines. The sleeves are knitted in the round on circular needles using the Magic loop technique (Double Pointed Needles or short circular needles can be used). The letter is embroidered at the end of the finished product by duplicating stitch.

How to choose your size

This sweater has a positive ease. This means that the finished measurements of the garment are larger than the measurements of the person wearing it. The positive ease on this sweater is 10-15 cm (4-6 inches), so it’s 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) larger than your bust size. Before you start knitting, you’ll need to measure your bust to determine your size.

For example, if you have a bust measurement of 100 cm (391/4), you will need to choose a size L.
