Overskud is a lightweight oversized “less-is-more” sweater worked top down with heavily sloped shoulders and dropped sleeves. The edges at neck, hem and cuffs are worked in 1x1 rib.

Sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
The body measurement of the finished sweater: 104.5 (112, 121, 128, 135.5, 148) cm/41.25 (44, 47.75, 50.5, 53.25, 58.25)”.

Choose a size with approx. 10-20 cm/4-8” positive ease at body.
The smaller sizes are recommended to have more ease at body than the larger sizes due to the dropped shoulders.
.
It is possible to “work your own size”: Choose a neckline (A) and continue to increase stitches for the desired width in body (B). The sleeves can be regular or wide (D) so work the yoke to the depth where the circumference of sleeves will fit (C).
