Over Easy is a stylish and modern boxy sweater perfect for layering over t-shirts, tunics, and dresses. The relaxed shape, generous proportions, and soft merino/mohair blend yarn make it an easy and comfortable garment for everyday wear. The sweater is knit from the bottom up and is intended to be worn with significant ease through the body. We found that the second size looks great on individuals ranging in bust size from 36” to 44” (see photos); however, to help you decide on which size to knit, we suggest selecting one which provides between 20” and 30” of positive ease. You can also opt for a smaller circumference and use the body length indicated for a larger size.
