The No Frills Sweater is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch with raglan increases to shape the yoke. First, the neck edge is worked, then short rows are worked at the back of the neck to shape the neckline and raise the back. The body and sleeves are worked in the round in stockinette stitch, and both are finished with a rib edge. Knit a swatch to determine which needle size gives you the correct gauge. Remember to wash the swatch before measuring the gauge.

Size guide
The No Frills Sweater is designed to have approx. 15 cm [6 inches] of positive ease for the smaller sizes and then gradually less for the larger sizes. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a chest circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140 150) cm [29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼ 51¼) 51¼ 55 (55-59) inches].

The measurements for the finished garment are on the front page of the pattern (note that these measurements are only achieved if the sweater is knitted in the correct gauge).
Before beginning your project, measure yourself with a measuring tape around your bust (or your widest upper body part) to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 93 cm [36½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part on your upper body) you should knit a size M. A size M sweater has a bust circumference of 109 cm [43 inches], which in the given example would give you 16 cm [6¼ inches] of positive ease.
