Jensen has a relaxed loose fit in the chest and waist. The raglan increase sections, waist shaping, and loose gauge, create this ease. The arms are intended to be slimmer fitting to offset the loose body fit. The DK weight yarn is worked using a larger needle size to create the best drape possible.
Jensen is intended to have 5-8 in/12.5-20.5 cm of positive ease for a loose, easy-to-wear fit. Choose a size accordingly to ensure intended positive ease. Sweater sample shown in size M. Model has 38 in/96.5 cm bust circumference and is 5’ 3’’ in/160 cm tall. This gives the sweater 7 in/17.5 cm of positive ease, making finished circumference 45 in/115 cm.
