Fitted and fabulous, this clingy sweater has a striking look.
Designed to be fitted to the body, it is comfortable to wear, thanks to a very stretchy two-colour rib fabric.

The garment is worked in the round from the bottom-up; the three-quarter sleeves are knitted first, then added to the body to shape the raglan-style armholes.

The jumper is designed to be fitted through the hips. If you would like to adjust the fit, you may wish to cast on for a larger size and adjust the waist shaping to reach the correct number of stitches for the desired bust size.
See blocking diagram for detailed measurements for each size, but note that the garment is very stretchy and so will be quite a bit longer than the given measurements when worn.
