Limones Sweater

The Limones Sweater is knitted back and forth and bottom up. Each part, or panel, is knitted separately and all of them feature intarsia. After all the panels are knitted and blocked, they are sewn together to make a completed sweater. There are five panels in total (front, back, collar and two sleeves) which together will create a saddle shoulder with set-in sleeves sweater. The collar is a folded high-neck that continues the stripes of the shoulders. In each of the nine sizes, there are options to customize the length of the sweater and two options for sleeve lengths. To achieve the look of the sweater, it is worn with considerable positive ease. **Size Guide** The Limones Sweater is designed to have **23-35 cm \[9-12 in] of positive ease around the chest.** The sizes 1 (2) 3 (4) 5 (6) 7 (8) 9 are designed to fit a bust circumference of 76-81 (86-92) 96-102 (107-112) 117 122 (127-132) 137-142 (147-152) 157-162 cm \[30-32 (34-36) 38-40 (42-44) 46-48 (50-52) 54-56 (58-60) 62-64 in]. The detailed measurements for the finished sweater are listed on the pattern. Measure yourself around the widest part of your chest to choose your size correctly.
