Short rows are employed to ensure a perfect fit for the back and neckline. It is constructed without the need for any finishing touches, making the knitting process as simple as possible. * Examples of knitted projects can be found on Instagram under the hashtag [#marvinsweater][1] * The garment in the photo is knitted in Gepard Garn, Puno nr.814 **Sizes:** **XS** / **S** / **M** / **L** / **XL** The Marvin sweater has a relaxed, slightly crop fit and is designed to have approx. 10-15cm [4-6 in] of positive ease. This means the garment's measurements will be approx. 10-15cm [4-6 in] larger than your actual bust circumference. The sizes XS / S / M / L / XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 / 85-90 / 90-95 / 95-100 / 100-110 cm [31½-33½ / 33½-35½ / 35½-37½ / 37½-39½ / 39½-43¼ in]. Before you begin, measure yourself to determine the correct size. For example, if your bust circumference is 90cm [35½ in], you should knit a size 2 (M).
