Sweater is meant to be worn with about 4-6“ of negative ease - choose a size that reflects that bust measurement. For chest sizes 52-62” and those with large cup sizes, I recommend calculating your size with 6-8” of negative ease.

Techniques
Knitting, purling, simple increases and decreases, working two separate groups of live stitches at once, picking up stitches, i-cord bind off, grafting live stitches

Construction
Starting with a circular yoke, straps are worked individually using simple increases, decreases, and slipped stitches. Live stitches from yoke straps are held as the body is worked from the bottom up, ending in shaping the neckline. Live neckline stitches are grafted to live yoke stitches, and stitches are picked up for sleeves.
