FIT: fitted 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 oversize
The sweater is designed based on a full height of appr. 168-170 cm /5.51 – 5.57 ft. If you are significantly higher than 170 cm / 5.57 ft extra length can be added to the body of the sweater by starting the chart at the short colorwork pattern repeat (rnd 18). This will add 4 cm / 1½” to the sweater length. Start at rnd 18, work the top 9 rnds in the chart followed by working the entire chart from rnd 1 to 26.
Do the same to lengthen the sleeves. Extra length will require additional yarn.
