Ivy Sweater

printed pattern - by mail

The Ivy Sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. The yoke is constructed with increases first for the shoulders, then for the sleeves, and finally raglan increases. Short rows are worked to shape the neckline. The sleeves are worked in the round using double-pointed needles or the Magic Loop method.

Size Guide

The Ivy Sweater is designed to have approximately 12 cm of positive ease compared to your bust circumference. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to 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 title page (note that these measurements are only valid if the stated gauge is met). 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 102 cm, providing 12 cm of positive ease in this example. A size chart can be found here.
