Like its crochet versions, it is made of two hexagon shapes joined at the back. The hexagons are worked from the underarm outwards and are folded into an upside-down letter L - one for the left half of the body and the left sleeve, and one for the right half of the body and the right sleeve. When the body is completed, a ribbed yoke is added to create the shoulder slope and the body is finished with ribbing along the lower edge, fronts and the neck. The pattern contains instructions for cropped and long sleeves.* **Sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)** Finished body circumference: 94 (102, 110, 118, 126) (134, 142, 150, 158, 166) cm/37.5 (40.75, 44, 47.25, 50.5) (53.5, 56.75, 60, 63.25, 66.5) in.
