Wilma Sweater is ideal for the autumn and winter seasons and can be knitted with either a turtleneck or a folded neckline, depending on your desired look. The Wilma Sweater is suitable for both beginners and more experienced knitters. Throughout the process, you will also find video guides to help you step by step.

Procedure:

The Wilma Sweater is worked top-down. You begin by knitting the neckline, then shape the yoke with increases. The sleeve stitches are set aside while the body is worked, and finally, each sleeve is knitted separately. 

Size guide:

This sweater should have a positive ease of about 20-25 cm 7.87-9.84 inch compared to your chest measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL correspond to the bust measurements (measured on your own body) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-105) 105-110 (110-115) 115-120 cm 33.46-35.43 (35.43-37.4) 37.4-39.37 (39.37-41.34) 41.34-43.31 (43.31-45.28) 45.28-47.24 inch. Measure yourself before you start knitting in order to figure out which size will fit you best. For example: If you measure 90 cm 35.43 inches at the widest part of your chest, then you should knit a size XS, which has a bust circumference of 114 cm 44.88 inches. Therefore, it will create a positive ease of 24 cm 9.45 inches.
