This pattern is tested for sizes XS, S, M, L, and XL.

Construction:
This sweater is worked from the bottom up, casting on and then working in the round, working the body until the
armholes. After armhole bind-offs, we separate front and back, keeping one side on hold, and work each side, shaping the neck and shoulders. After finishing
with both sides, the shoulder seams are worked, and then sleeves or neck ribbing is worked.
This sweater has a dropped shoulder and the loose fit of a casual sweatshirt, with a positive ease of 15-20 cm.
The sample in red is made in Size M for a woman with a 90 cm bust circumference and 170 cm height.
Ease and fit can be easily modified in all
body measurements.
