This is not a finished garment, this is a knitting pattern to create your own garment

About the pattern
This is an advanced beginner/
intermediate drop shoulder sweater,
worked top down in panels, knit in
stockinette stitch. The back yoke is
shaped using German Short Rows, and
then the back panel is worked. The
shoulders are picked up and intarsia is
used to create the graphic on the front
and/ or back. The front and back panels
are then seamed together. Sleeve
stitches are picked up and knit in the
round.
This pattern includes 35 cm of positive
ease in the circumference of the
garment. For a less oversized fit,
consider using finer yarn or knit a
smaller size.
For reference, my bust measures 82
cm, I am 5’5 and wearing a size M in the
pictures at the end of the pattern.
