“Winterberry” is an oversized sweater for women with nature-inspired motif with “berries” and “stems” written in 3 standard sizes: S/M/L-XL which correspond to chest circumference (finished):
95/105/115 cm 37.4/41.3/45.3 in

This is a knitting pattern for intermediate skills - you should be able to read charts, cast on, bind off, knit and purl, increase and decrease + surface crochet for edging.

The sweater is worked as top-down raglan in the round, with the Japanese yoke increase method. Neckline is edged with a round of crocheted slip-stitches.
Finished length: 50/55/60 cm (19.7/21.7/23.6 in)
