Construction
The Stanek Sweater is knitted using the mosaic technique, which means you only work with one color at a time. This makes it both easier and more fun to knit with two colors.

The sweater is worked top-down. The back piece is worked first, with shoulder shaping using German Short Rows (GSR). Then the right and left shoulders are knitted separately and joined to form the front and back. Once joined, the slip-stitch pattern begins, consisting of two different stripe structures. The body is finished with a ribbed hem and side split.
Stitches are then picked up around the armholes, and the sleeves are worked downwards.
Finally, the neckband is knitted.

Choosing size
The sweater is designed with 15–30 cm (6–12 in) of positive ease for a relaxed, slightly oversized fit.
Example: If your bust circumference is 90 cm and you choose size with finished bust 112 cm, you will have 22 cm of ease.
