I recommend 0–8 cm of positive ease for a “men’s” fit (classic, narrower shape), and 15–30 cm of positive ease for a “women’s” fit (oversized shape) but this is entirely up to you and your personal preference.
Intermediate / Uses basic knitting techniques requires experience in following detailed instructions and working with an unconventional construction. Worked from the bottom up, over the shoulders, and down the back in modular knitting. The neckline is picked up and knitted, and the sweater is assembled by knitting the sections together.
