Notes

I feel like this sweater is definitely not size inclusive even tho there is plenty of sizes. The sweater is not graded to actually fit for bigger people. I knitted size 2XL (my normal size, with 10-15 cm positive ease) and the sweater is definitely too small for me. The outcome is not like in pattern pictures because in bigger sizes there is not as much of positive ease as in smaller sizes. For example sleeves are way smaller and fitted, because in size 2XL there is only 8 stitches more than in size Sflushed I also had to make more pattern repeats on body, because in bigger sizes your breasts take more room and therefore making same amount of repeats as in smaller sizes you get cropped shirt.
Basically the fit of the sweater is not as pictured and promised in bigger sizes. I wouldn’t knit this sweater if I was size L or bigger. And I had the right gauge or even tiny bit looser than in pattern.

Luckily this sweater goes to my mum who is smaller than me, but this is still not looking the same on her than in pattern pictures.

Also there was mistake in sleeve stitches after decreases in size 2XL. There is only 40 left, not 48. I made many other alterations for example I knitted few centimeter more before sleeve decreases and I also used 3,25mm needles for hem ribbing in body.
