ROBINIA LIGHT is a soft and feminine sweater with an elegant pattern worked in stranded knitting. The sweater is worked from the top down. First, the back and front yoke are worked flat and afterward joined for the body worked in rounds. Stitches are picked up along the armholes, and the sleeves are worked down and finished with cuffs in twisted rib. The yoke and sleeves are shaped with short rows to create an excellent fit.

How much positive ease you like in your clothes varies from person to person. Measuring some of your favorite sweaters can be a good idea to help you choose the perfect size.

My own ROBINIA LIGHT has 28 cm of positive ease.
