Mürren is worked from the top down starting at the shoulders. You work the front first, then the back before joining them together to finish the body. You finish with a split hem and ¾ length sleeves. There are drawings on page 2 to descriptively show you how to work this construction. This sweater will absolutely fly off your needles, I challenge you to knit it on a long weekend ;)

You could easily modify this sweater to use only 1 color, make it longer instead of cropped, make the sleeves long instead of 3/4 length or knit them in stockinette instead of ribbing. Customize it to your preference.

SIZING
Find the full measurement info & schematic a few photos down on this page
I recommend choosing a finished bust measurement that is around 2 - 10″ {5-15 cm} larger than your actual bust measurement. If your yarn has good drape then lots of positive ease will look good, but if your yarn is stiffer I suggest going with less positive ease. Sample is size 6 with 7.75″ {19.5 cm} of positive ease.

NOTES
- This pattern has been professionally tech edited for all sizes. It has also been test knit for almost every size, I was unable to find testers for sizes 13, 14, & 15, and my testers for size 3 dropped out before the deadline. All other sizes have been test knit.
