busan sweater

Busan is a chunky yet light sweater, and with its combination of Italian merino, silk and mohair, it will give you a feeling of pure luxury. The natural fibers from the merino sheep will keep you warm when necessary while ensuring that the sweater feels airy. Busan is a soft, elegant and wearable friend for every season with its classic look and signature wide cable. It has raglan details, double ribbing, a cable, and short rows under the armholes and at the bottom of the body to create the perfect oversized shape. It is worked from the top down. **SIZES** 1 (2) 3 (4) **MEASUREMENTS** **Bust circumference, measured on finished sweater:** 117 (126) 131 (140) cm / 46 (49.6) 51.5 (55.7) ″ Please note that the width of the finished sweater does not correlate with the gauge and number of stitches as the cable makes the fabric contract.
