Yarn consumption will vary depending on desired length and individual gauge. The fit across all sizes has been fine-tuned following test knitting. Please contact support@secondknit.com if you experience any discrepancies in yarn usage.** The sweater has an oversized fit and is worked top down, beginning at the neckline. The back yoke is worked flat using short rows to shape the shoulders. The shoulders are then worked separately before being joined to form the front yoke. Next, the front and back pieces are joined, and the body is worked in the round in stockinette stitch. The body is finished with a combination of 3x3 ribbing and 1x1 ribbing. The sleeves are worked last and feature the same rib structure, as does the neckline. All rib edges are finished with double knitting and an Italian bind-off for a neat and elastic finish. The sizes are designed with approximately 30 cm of positive ease in relation to the bust measurement. If you prefer a less oversized fit, you may choose a size with less positive ease, especially for larger bust measurements. The pattern is designed to fit the following body measurements (bust circumference): 80–85 (85–90) 90–95 (95–100) 100–110 (110–120) 120–130 cm **Example:** If your bust measurement is 96 cm and you would like the recommended positive ease of approximately 30 cm, you should choose a size with a finished bust circumference of around 126 cm, which corresponds to size M. The sweater will then have approximately 32 cm of positive ease. The model in the photo has a bust measurement of 83 cm and is wearing size XS. The sweater shown has 33 cm of positive ease and a total length of 60 cm measured at the center back. The sweater is knitted holding one strand of Eco Soft (color 6S) together with one strand of Silk Mohair (color 6) from Isager Yarn.
