> Enjoy this pattern 25% discount till > the end of December 21 with no coupon > code needed. The ***Vira Sweater*** is worked from top down. First, the back yoke is worked in pattern, back and forth, shaped with increases. Then each shoulder is worked separately, from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the top of the back yoke. Then, the front and back are joined, and the body of the sweater is knitted straight down in the round. Next, stitches are picked up to work the neckline in the round. Finally, stitches are picked up along the armholes to work the sleeves in the round. ***Size guide:*** The Sweater is designed to have approx. 25-26 cm [9¾ -10¼ in] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be, 25-26 cm [9¾ -10¼ in] 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 116 cm [45½ in] which in the given example will give you 26 cm [10¼ in] of positive ease. ***Finished measurements:*** 10 (116; 122; 126) (136; 146; 156) cm / 43¼ (45½; 48; 49½) (53½; 57½; 61½) in ***Gauge:*** 20 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm 4 x 4 inches in stockinette stitch on 4 mm US6 needles.
