Construcion
The sweater is worked top-down. The neckband is folded and knitted together. After the neckband the pattern is worked with short rows to make the neckline deeper in the front. Then the yoke is worked in pattern. Raglan increases are worked before the body and sleeves are worked separately.

Selecting a size
Peacock Jumper has an intended positive ease of 12-18 cm 4.5-7 “. It is shown with approx. 15 cm 6” of positive ease.
Find your personal size by measuring yourself around the chest (or the largest part of the body). Then look at the measurements at page 1 (this is the finished measurements of the jumer). Positive ease is the difference between your bust circumference and the bust circumference of the Tee. Is your bust circumference e.g. 94 cm 37 inches, a size M will give you 13 cm 5” of positive ease (107 cm – 94 cm = 13 cm). 42“ – 37“ = 5”. The length is measured at the center back, including the neckband.
