Construction

This easy sweater is knit flat and from the bottom up. The body ribbing and sleeve cuffs are knit in 2×2 ribbing. There are 4 pieces: the back panel, front panel and two sleeves. After knitting you will sew the panels together, sew the sleeves together, and then add them to the main body of the sweater. I bound off and seamed the shoulders. You may choose to do a 3 needle bind off if you prefer.

Finished Measurements

After blocking 38 [42.5, 47, 51, 55.5, 60, 64, 68, 72.5] (96.5 [108, 119.5, 129.5, 141, 152.5, 162.5, 173, 184] cm) bust circumference.

The model is 5’ 2” and wears size M with 11” (28 cm) of positive ease at the bust.

It’s best to take your bust measurements and compare it to the bust circumference of the finished sweater measurement to choose the right size. And, of course, be sure to check and meet gauge for best fit!
