Note: A revised version of the pattern with 7 sizes and new charts will be published within the next couple of weeks. If you consider yourself a advanced knitter, then you can knit with the current version, if not then I would highly recommend you wait for the new version! Everyone who has purchased the pattern will get the new version. The soft, chunky, and perfectly oversized sweater with a high neck and decorative buttons at the front. It looks just as great with jeans as it does layered over a dress, and will quickly become a wardrobe favorite. Knit on 7 mm needles for a full and airy texture, featuring bold cables that give the sweater that little extra touch. ABOUT THE GARMENT The sweater is worked from the top down. First, the back piece is worked flat with increases to build width and establish the cable pattern. Stitches are then picked up for the front pieces to align with the pattern, and the fronts are worked separately, shaping the neckline and armholes. The front and back pieces are then joined to form the body, which is worked in the round in the cable pattern. The sleeves are picked up and worked in the round, and the sweater is finished with ribbed edges, a neckline, loops, and buttons. Sizes: 1 (2) 3 Bust measurement (Garments measurement): 130 (140) 150 cm Length of sweater: 56 (58) 60 cm (measured at center back, excluding collar) Size guide: The sweater is designed to have approximately 40–60 cm of positive ease, meaning the finished garment should be larger than your body measurements. I would recommend to size up if you are in between sizes! You can adjust the length of the sleeves and body to your preference, but keep in mind that this may affect the amount of yarn required.
