A classic sweater, perfect over t-shirts and sandy jeans on cool summer evenings, or pulled over woolen undershirts for a winter hike.* **DETAILS** This sweater is knit from the top down with a deep collar, that transitions into a colorwork round yoke. The sleeves are separated and put on hold while the body is finished. They are then returned to the needles and knit down for a customizable and seamless sweater! **SIZES** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5)(6, 7, 8, 9) #sizeinclusive **FINISHED BUST CIRCUMFERENCE** 34 (38, 42, 46, 50)(54, 58, 62, 66)” 86.5 (96.5, 107, 117, 127)(137, 147.5, 157.5, 167.5) cm *This sweater is intended to be worn with approximately 2-6”/5-15 cm positive ease.
