CONSTRUCTION: The Nola Sweater is knitted seamlessly from the top down. First, the back is worked in stockinette stitch, followed by the two front pieces. Stitches are then picked up along the shoulders and the work is joined in the round. The raglan increases are worked next, before the stitches are divided into the body and sleeves. The sleeves are knitted in the round with regular decreases. Finally, the neckband is worked and all edges are neatly finished with a reinforced bind-off.

SIZE GUIDE: The Nola Sweater is designed to be worn with 6–20 cm of positive ease in relation to your bust circumference. The smaller sizes have up to 20 cm of positive ease, while the amount of positive ease gradually decreases in the larger sizes. Choose your size according to the following bust circumferences: 80–85 | 85–90 | 90–95 | 95–100 | 100–110 | 110–120 | 120–130 | 130–140 | 140–150 cm. If your bust circumference is 109 cm, you should choose size XL.
