The easiest way to make this sweater larger or smaller is to add or subtract moss stitches from the ends of each panel. This pattern can be made to measure.
Small changes are progressively made to pattern as I edit, make sure to re-download most recent version before you start your own!
Oct 28 update: chart row numbers were presented on the opposite side of the chart, they have now been fixed. All charts are started on the wrong side of work (row 1) and all cables are done on the right side of work. re-download the pdf so your file is up to date!
