Notes

Sweater is worked bottom-up flat, shoulders are seamed along edge. Side edges are picked up and worked flat, neckline is picked up and worked in the round. Helpful Hint: When working shoulder shaping, place removable markers every 10 rows from the first outer edge decrease up the side of the sweater- this will help with seaming later.

Chart 4 I measured 5.25” from ribbing edge (s/b from 4” from CO edge).
Chart 3, 9.5”
Chart 2, ended at 14.75”

Seemed a bit short before blocking but will aggressively block (fits perfectly after blocking).

Width: 53.5cm / 21” / Length: 66cm / 26” (unblocked)
Width: 65cm / 25.5” + Length: 72.5cm / 28.5” (blocked)
Gauge is 5sts x 6rows, Swatched: 5.25sts x 7 rows
Maybe an inch less width than pattern but I wanted it longer than 58.5” which works for my height.

Notes:
For seaming: face WS together & have RS facing outwards.
