This is a sweater with a relaxed, boxy fit, a slightly longer yoke and wide sleeves.
The pattern is available in 3 sizes.
Due to the long yoke, the sleeves are shorter than usual.
The sweater is worked from the top down, making it easy to lengthen both the body and sleeves if desired.

The sweater is worked flat at first, then joined to work in the round, with raglan increases and colourwork.
(The flat section is worked without colourwork.)

The sweater can be knitted using one colour for each colourwork repeat, as shown in the original, or with just one contrasting colour.

Size:
1 (2) 3.

Finished measurements:
Bust circumference: 104 (116) 128 cm

You can make the sweater longer if you wish.
Remember to allow for some extra black yarn if you do.

The model is wearing size 2 and usually wears a size M.
The sweater has about 30 cm of positive ease.
