How it is knitted

The back is worked in two shoulder pieces with back neckline shaping, then joined on the needle.

The fronts are picked up from the shoulders, shaped for a round neckline, and joined with a loop cast-on.

The body is worked in the round in stitch pattern to the desired length, finishing in rib.

Stitches for the sleeves are picked up and worked in the round down to rib. The neckband is worked in double knitting and attached as you bind off.

Fit

A relaxed, slightly oversized sweater with 15–18 cm [6–7 in] positive ease at the bust, dropped shoulders and straight sleeves that gather into snug twisted-rib cuffs. The stitch pattern works for both genders.

The fit is boxy with a dropped shoulder and roomy armhole depth, with 15 to 18 cm positive ease.

I want everyone to trust and feel they can wear what they make from my patterns.
