Available now in Nutmeg Fibers: Issue 3, Spring 2019!

Notes about fitting for this pattern:

This is a top-down, cropped style sweater, designed with approximately 7”(18cm) of positive ease. You can easily alter this for your body shape by shortening or lengthing the body before the beginning of the ribbed hemline of both the sleeves and the main body (as is noted in the pattern at the appropriate times).

Sizing is as follows:

To fit bust: 32(36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 60)“ or 82(92, 102, 112, 122, 132, 152)cm with approximately 7”(18cm) of positive ease at the bust.

Our models are wearing samples all made in size 3 shown in an oversized look on a 32” bust, as well as for the intended fit on 39” bust. This is noted in the captions for your planning purposes. We wanted you to see how there are a lot of different ways you can make this sweater shine for you! Our sizing chart is based off of the measurements for the intended fit of the sweater.
