FIT & SIZE
This sweater is designed to be very fitted in the shoulders and sleeves and everyone’s body is unique so it would be impossible for me to account for everyone. A few key tips though are as follows:
o If you have broad or “square” shoulders (ie sharply perpendicular to your body with little shoulder slope), I’d recommend going up a size or two for the best fit there.
o Also do be sure to look at the schematic for sleeves – arm sizes can vary as much as chest sizes. If you wish to change your sleeve diameter – there are a few easy options to do so. You can either change your needle size for the sleeves, or you could add or omit sts at the underarm. Another good option for a more dramatic change would be to knit a different size to allow for more or less sts for the sleeves while maintaining the st requirements for the body.
This sweater is designed to fit the following:
Finished bust measurements with +2 to - 3” or +5 to - 7.75 cm of positive ease. 32 (36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60)” or 81.25 (91.5, 101.5, 112, 122, 132, 142.25, 152.5) cm.
