A DK sister to the original Batwing Sweater (fingering weight!).
This is an equally relaxed and comfortable sweater, easy to throw on and style with jeans or something smarter. It’s knit in the round as one piece

SIZING:
The sizing names are based on the jumper size, not your body size! What’s important is to work to the size that will provide the actual finished measurements you are after. The most important measurement is your full chest/bust measurement and your hips. This sweater is designed to be worn with about 40 inches positive ease at the bust and about 0-2 inches positive ease around your higher hips (as measured over hip bone). As there is so much positive ease with this garment at the top you have a little bit of leeway in the sizing you choose but you are between sizes I would suggest you work to the larger size making sure it fits to your hip measurement. Please see pattern photos for detailed sizing info.
The sample/pattern photo is made in Size 3 with Drops Karisma (Colourway 75). It took 564g of yarn (just over 11 balls of 50g). It is worn with 40 inches of ease at the top and 0 inches of ease around the hips.
