The Hannah Sweater V-neck is worked from the top down. First, the back yoke is worked back and forth on the needle with increases. First the shoulders and then the front yoke are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the back yoke with increases for the V-neck. The sleeves are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the armhole openings. At the end, stitches are picked up and knitted along the neck opening, and a double rib edge is worked with decreases at the front.

Size guide
The Hannah Sweater V-neck is designed to have approx. 35 cm [13¾ inches] of positive ease for the smaller sizes and then gradually less for the larger sizes. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm [29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼ 51¼) 51¼-55 (55-59) inches]. The measurements for the finished sweater are listed on the front page of the pattern. Measure yourself before beginning your project to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 95 cm [37½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size M. A sweater in size M has a bust circumference of 129 cm [50¾ inches] which in the given example would give you 34 cm [13¼ inches] of positive ease.
