How it is knitted

The back is worked in two shoulder pieces with back neckline shaping, using a provisional cast-on.

The front is worked the same way, with i-cord integrated into the structure and a high side slit.

The pieces are joined, and the body is worked to the garment length.

Stitches for the sleeves are picked up and worked down to rib.

Fit

An oversized, long sweater with 25–30 cm [10–12 in] ease in sizes 1–6, 20 cm [8 in] in sizes 7–8 and 15 cm [6 in] in size 9, with a high side slit that keeps the length from feeling heavy.

The fit is oversized and loose, with a dropped shoulder. The positive ease decreases somewhat in the largest sizes.

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