PetiteKnit-Anker's Sweater My Size

Anker’s Sweater – My Size is worked from the top down. The yoke is worked in sections of rib with increases in the round, followed by classic raglan increases when the stockinette stitch section begins. The sleeves are worked at the end, either on double-pointed needles or on circular needles using the Magic Loop technique. Anker’s Sweater – My Size has no finishing other than weaving in ends.

Size guide

The Anker’s Sweater – My Size is designed to have approx. 6-10 cm of positive ease in the smaller sizes and then gradually less positive ease in the larger sizes. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The measurements for the finished sweater are listed on the front page of the pattern. Measure yourself before starting your project, to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S slipover has a bust circumference of 96 cm, which in the given example would give you 6 cm of positive ease.
