This all-over ribbed top can be worked as a shrug or a pullover, and the pattern includes numbers for two different gender-neutral fit types in the shoulders and chest, with proportions corresponding to traditional “men’s” and “women’s” sizing charts. All pieces are worked seamlessly, top-down, with optional instructions for a sleeve adjustment and bust darts on the pullover. [A matching tank pattern][4] is available separately to layer perfectly under the shrug. → [Click here to download a free PDF with all the pattern details][5], including sizing information, yarn requirements, gauge and needles, and a full schematic. <hr> . ݁₊ ⊹ ₊ ݁. <big><big>SIZING</big></big> **TO FIT UPPER BUST/CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE:** **In inches:** (30, 34, 38) \[42, 46, 50\] {54, 58, 62} **In centimeters:** (75, 85, 95) \[105, 115, 125\] {135, 145, 155} To choose your size, measure your upper bust/chest circumference (your chest right at your underarms).
