It is the perfect casual drop shoulder with options for 1x1 or 2x2 ribbing, split or standard hems, and wide or slim sleeves. The sleeve options are also not solely sts count based; shoulder short rows are used to create the difference in circumference.

The gauge for this sweater is 19stsx25 rows in stockinette using a DK and lace weight held together, though it is also a great option to use a worsted held single.

This pattern is graded over 10 sizes with bust circumferences ranging from 28-67”.

The recommended positive ease is 10-13 inches, but feel free to choose outside of my recommendations and per your preferences. Note that changing sizes will likely require sleeve length modifications.

The finished circumferences are as follows:
41”, 104 cm
45”, 114.25 cm
49”, 124.5 cm
53”, 134.5 cm
57”, 144.75 cm
