The Snuggly Sweater is worked with two strands held together, top down with raglan increases. The collar is folded double & the neck is shaped with short rows. At the sleeves there are decreases made before the cuff.

The sweater is designed to have a 2 – 8 cm / 1 – 3” positive ease, please note that the measurements are taken when the fabric is not stretched. Due to the ribbing, the sweater does stretch quite a bit vertically, so the actual positive ease is more than the 2 – 8 cm / 1 – 3”. For example, even though the darker sample’s body circumference is 83 cm / 32¾”, if I stretch it, the circumference is almost 120 cm / 48”.
Choose your size depending on the fit you want.
The darker sample is made in size 3, the lighter in size 4 & my bust is approx 80 cm / 31½”
