The sweater is shown with approx. 30 cm [11.75”] of positive ease. Find your personal bust circumference by measuring around your chest (or the largest part of your upper body). Then look at the measurements at the beginning of the pattern (these are the finished measurements of the sweater). Positive ease is the difference between your personal measurement and the sweater's measurement. For example, if your bust circumference is 94 cm [37”], a size M will give you a positive ease of 20 cm [7.75”] (114 cm – 94 cm = 20 cm) [44.75”- 37” = 7.75”] *The length is measured at the center back excl. the neckline. Schematics are available here Construction Rosie Yoke Sweater is worked top-down (the neckband is added at last) with a raised back neck, created using German short rows (GSR). This means that when working the short rows, you work back and forth in stockinette stitch (knit on the right side, purl on the wrong side). Apart from the short rows, the sweater is worked in stockientte stitch only. The yoke is shaped with increases. The colorwork pattern and the increases are shown in the chart.
