DESCRIPTION

MOONCRUSH is a cool color-blocked day dream of a sweater, designed for play in both the knitting and the wearing. With deep armholes and seamless set-in sleeves, Mooncrush features a boxy, sporty silhouette that is equally well-matched with your favorite slacks or under a cozy jumpsuit. The pattern includes 9 sizes, options for cropped or full length, options for a scoop neck or crew neck, tips for working intarsia, yarn requirements and instructions for making a 2- or 3-color version, and original charts for the intarsia panels across the size range.

SIZING

All of my garment patterns are #sizeinclusive to fit up to at least a 60”/150cm full bust circumference.

FINISHED BUST/CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE:
In inches: (36, 40, 44) [48, 52, 56] {60, 64, 68}
In centimeters: (90, 100, 110) [120, 130, 140] {150, 160, 170}

To choose your size, measure the circumference of your torso around the fullest part of your chest and choose a size that fits with 4-6”/10-15cm of positive ease. To see how the pattern fits across the size range, check out the test knitting round-up here.

In the photos, Jacqui is wearing a crop size 7 (60”/150cm) with 6”/15cm of positive ease at the chest and 1”/2.5cm of positive ease at the bicep.
