Begin by working a swatch to determine which needle size you need to achieve the correct gauge. **Size guide:** Sweater is designed to have approx. 15 cm [6 inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 15 cm [6 inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ in] around your bust, you should knit a size S. A size S sweater has a chest circumference of 105 cm [41¼ inches] which in the given example will give you 15 cm [6 inches] of positive ease. **Sizes:** XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL **Finished measurements:** 100 (105; 110; 115) (125; 135; 145) cm / 39¼ (41¼; 43¼; 45¼) (49; 53; 57) in **Gauge:** 24 sts x 32 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] in stockinette stitch on 3,5 mm [US4] needles **Circular needles:** Main: 3,5 mm [US4] 80 or 100 cm [32 or 40 in]; Ribbing – 2,5 mm [US2] 80 or 100 cm [32 or 40 in] **Yarn:** for the main color 300 (300; 350; 350) (375; 400; 400) g for the stripes 50 (50; 75; 75) (75; 100; 100) g Pernilla by Filcolana (175 m/50 g) *or* Ulysse by De Rerum Natura (185 m/50 g) *or* Ecopuno by Lana Grossa (215 m/50 g) *or* Casmire Premium by Lang Yarns (115 m/25 g) **Difficulty:** ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (5 out of 5) The Yara Sweater on the photo is knitted in Pernilla by Filcolana in the color Marzipan [977] and Merlot [804].
