*Use coupon code superbloom for 15% off any Savory Knitting pattern now through end of day April 16 2023* The Pressed Flowers Pullover is worked from the top down in the round with an allover mosaic color work pattern. The stitch pattern is charted. If you are unfamiliar with mosiac knitting and reading charts, consider starting with the [Pressed Flowers Cowl][1] to familiarize yourself with the stitch pattern. The neck is shaped with short rows, the German short row method is recommended for this project. This section of the pattern could be a little spicy for some, I suggest working this short section when there are few distractions and you can take your time. This sweater has a relaxed, slouchy, vintage sweatshirt style fit. It is shown worn with 12-13" of positive ease- it works just was well with 2-3" of ease and anything in between. To find the right fit *for you*, measure a piece of clothing (like a sweater or sweatshirt) that you love. Measure from side seam to side seam at the underarm and choose the size closest to that. Next measure the length of the garment you love from the shoulder seam at the neck edge to the hem. To balance the amount of positive ease, the sweater shown has a somewhat cropped body- compare the total length from the shoulder to the hem and consider adding an extra round of flowers to the body before you begin the rib, if you like a little more length- *Plan your yarn purchases accordingly.* FINISHED MEASUREMENTS 37 (43, 49, 55, 61, 67, 73)” /94 (109, 124, 140, 155, 170, 186) cm around bust/hip 19 (20, 21, 22 ½, 24, 26, 28)” /48 (51, 53, 57, 61, 66, 71) cm from shoulder to hem MATERIALS Yarn 1150 (1350, 1550, 1750, 1950, 2200, 2400) yards DK weight yarn, 725 (825, 925, 1025, 1125, 1250, 1350) yards MC and 425 (525, 625, 725, 825, 950, 1050) yards CC.
