Seamless set-in sleeve construction combined with optional waist shaping creates a nicely tailored fit. Dogwood is worked top-down, so it is easy to modify the sleeves and body to your ideal lengths. Worked in a sport weight wool yarn, this sweater is a perfect layering piece for both the spring and the fall. You could knit yours in a neutral color for a wardrobe staple that goes with everything, or choose a fun and bright color to create a handknit that will add a pop of color to any outfit. **SIZING** Fit I is graded based on a traditional women’s sizing chart and Fit II is graded based on a traditional men’s sizing chart. Both fit types are graded to 11 sizes, designed to fit bodies with bust/chest measurements between 30-66" (75-165 cm). All sizes include an additional 2-4" (5-10 cm) of ease in the finished garment. See the Pattern Details PDFs linked above to see a full schematic. **SAMPLE** Photos show Fit I Size B worn with 3.5” / 9 cm of positive ease at the bust on a body with a height of 5’3” / 160 cm. **TESTERS** Check out the [Tester Showcase][2] to view the projects from all my wonderful test knitters!
