Frankie Sweater by Petite knit

The Frankie Sweater is worked top-down with raglan increases on the yoke. Short rows are worked at the back of the neck to shape the neckline. The sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or with a circular needle. The Frankie Sweater is worked with narrow stripes.

Size Guide

The Frankie Sweater is designed to have approximately 20 cm (positive ease) compared to your bust circumference. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a body bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The measurements of the finished sweater can be found on the front page (note that these measurements are only valid if the gauge is maintained). Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine the size that fits you best. If your bust circumference (or the widest part of your body) measures 90 cm, you should choose size S. A size S sweater has a bust circumference of 112 cm and would have a positive ease of 22 cm in the chosen example. Measurement charts can be found here.
