Boyfriend sweater has an oversized fit. It is worked top down, and is constructed with a combination of saddle shoulders and raglan - for a typical boyfriend look. The sweater is made on 4mm / US6 needles, so it is not overly hot or heavy, but is a solid basic sweater that goes with most outfits.

Construction notes
The sweater is worked with two strands of yarn. The sweater is worked from the top down. Begin mid back and increase for saddle shoulder and neckline. When the neckline at both back and front are shaped, continue in the round. After increasing for the shoulders, you make raglan increases, then work body and sleeves separately. Then pick up stitches for the neckline. The length is measured at the centre-back, not including the neckband.

Selecting your size
Boyfriend sweater has a short and loose fit. When choosing your size, measure yourself with a measuring tape around your bust or the widest part of your upper body to determine which size will fit you the best. Choose the size with a circumference of 30-40 cm (12-15,5 inches) larger than your widest measurement, which will would give you 30-40 cm (12-12,5 inches) of positive ease. Choose a size smaller if you prefer a more fitted garment. The cream sweater is shown with a positive ease of 35 cm (14 inches). The bluegrey sweater is shown with at positive ease of 40 cm (15,5 inches). The length is measured at the centre-back, not including the neckband.

Konstruktion
Alt strikkes med én tråd af hver kvalitet. Sweateren strikkes i ét stykke, oppefra og ned. Først strikkes nakke/skulder med udtagninger til sadelskuldre og halsudskæring. Når ryggens og senere forstykkets halsudskæring er dannet, strikkes færdigt rundt. Efter skulderudtagningerne tages ud til raglan, arbejdet deles til ærmegab, og man strikker krop og ærmer færdig for sig. Halskanten strikkes til slut.
