I simply love this sweater! Due to the dopped shoulders and set-in sleeves, it’s probably the most well-fitting sweater that I’ve ever owned.

Construction
The sweater is worked top-down and seamlessly.
You start work the upper back and upper front top-down to underarms, where work is joined and the lower body is worked in the round until bind-off. The sleeves are worked in-the-round and top-down from picked-up and knit sts around the armhole-openings. The neckline is worked in-the round.

Sizes
Finished chest circumference, after washing and blocking. 83/90/97/105/113/121/128/136 cm = 33/35.5/38/41.5/44.5/47.5/50.5/54” The samples are worked in size 1 (33”), with 5 cm/2” of positive ease.
