Size guide Plain Yoke Pullover is intended to have a positive ease of approx. 10-15 cm [4-6”], depending on how loosely fitting you want it to be. The sweater is shown with a positive ease of 12 cm [4.75“]. Find your personal bust circumference by measuring around your chest (or the widest part of your upper body). Then look at the measurements given 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 measurement. For example, if your bust circumference is 94 cm [37”], a size M would provide you with a positive ease of 12 cm [4.75”] (106 cm – 94 cm = 12 cm). [41.75” - 37” = 4.75”]. Construction note, detailed edition (in the picture) Plain Yoke Pullover is knitted top-down 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 knit stitches only. The yoke is shaped with increases. Construction note, novice edition Plain Yoke Pullover is knitted top-down. Everything is worked in stockinette stitch, meaning the sweater is worked in knit stitches only. The round yoke is shaped with increases. The only difference compared to the "detailed edition” is that ”novice edition” is worked the same way both in the front and back in the neck section.
