The Syren sweater features a leaf-like stitch pattern worked from the bottom up in joined rounds, extending up to the bust line. Subsequently, both sleeves are crafted in a bottom-up fashion, also reaching the bust line. Finally, all three components are seamlessly joined, and the lace yoke undergoes a gradual decrease. To enhance the back, short rows are incorporated, culminating in a polished finish with slip stitch ribbing. **Sizes** 1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6, 7) (8, 9, 10) **To fit bust:** 25.25 (29.5, 33.75, 38.25) (42.5, 46.75, 51.25) (55.5, 59.75, 64.25)'' / 64 (75, 86, 97) (108, 119, 130) (141, 152, 163) cm **Finished bust:** 34.75 (39, 43.25, 47.75) (52, 56.25, 60.75) (65, 69.25, 73.5)'' / 88 (99, 110, 121) (132, 143, 154) (165, 176, 187) cm Recommended positive ease up to 9.5'' / 24 cm **Gauge** measured over main stitch pattern used for body and sleeves 18 sts (3 leaf repeats) = 4.25" / 11 cm with main gauge hook 16 sts and 3 rows of leaf motif rows = 4'' / 10 cm with main gauge hook **Yarn** Fingering weight held together with lace weight (or 1 strand of DK weight).
