CONSTRUCTION
Based on the tradition of Icelandic circular yoke sweaters, Miracle Spirit is knit in the round from the bottom up. With long sleeves, and waist and bust-shaping this pattern works for lots of bodies. Short rows are worked on the back of the sweater to bring the front of the collar lower than the back. The stranded yoke is worked, and then the collar finished with Icelandic Bind off.

FIT
Sweater is designed to be worn with 1-4” 2.5-10 cm of positive ease. If you want a closer fit, choose the size that is 1-4” 2.5- 10 cm larger than your actual bust measurement. Knit a size with 1-2” 2.5-5 cm of positive ease for a closer fit, or 3-4” 7.5-10 cm of positive ease for a standard fit.
