ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Magic Checkered Sweater has a unique construction and
is beginner friendly since there are no technical difficulties
such as intarsia or increases. To work this pattern, you will
have to knit strips of squares to form the body and sleeves and
then sew them together to finish. Rib edges are worked along
the neck edge, cuffs and bottom edge.

SIZES
XXS-XS (S-M) L-XL (2XL-3XL) 4XL-5XL (6XL-7XL)
Sizes above correspond with the following chest circumference:

Measure your own chest circumference and then read the
sizing instructions on page 2 to determine which size will fit
you the best.

MEASUREMENTS

5-29 cm of positive ease. Meaning the fit should be 5-29 cm
