Construction
This sweater is worked top-down with a round yoke, following a chart.

Size Guide
The sweater has a very generous positive ease of around 45–60 cm | 17.7–23.6”, but the wide ribbing causes it to collapse into folds, making it appear smaller than the actual measurements. The sleeves are quite wide.

Techniques

  • Increase left and right
  • Short rows
  • Italian bind-off

Sizes:
XS/S (M/L) XL/XXL (XXXL)

Yarn Choice
The combination of the heathered wool yarn (Rauma Vams) and the slightly fuzzy companion thread (Mohair) creates a beautiful interplay of texture, adding both life and depth to the fabric.
