Warm hugs

Sweater is worked from the top down. The construction starts at the shoulders, with some short rows. The back and the fronts are worked separately up to the armholes, and then everything is joined to complete the body in one piece. The sleeves are picked up around the armholes and also worked in the round.

This sweater is designed to have approx. 8-10 cm 3,1-4 in of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 8-10 cm 3,1-4 in larger in circumference than your bust measurement. For example, if you measure 90 cm 35,5 in around your bust, you should knit a size 36. A size 36 sweater has a bust circumference of 102 cm 40 in which in given example would give you 10 cm 4 in of positive ease.
