SIZE & FIT

Fit: This sweater is designed as a relaxed-fitting, slightly oversize sweater with approx. 4”-10” (10.16- 25.4 cm) of positive ease. The sweater is designed as a slightly oversized, relaxed-fitting sweater with approximately 8.5”-10” (21.59-25.4 cm) of positive ease. This sweater is worked straight, with the bust circumference remaining the same down to the hips, so there is no bust or waist shaping (making it great unisex). The sleeves are tapered for a more natural fit. Neck shaping is worked to result in a naturally scooped front neckline, ensuring the sweater fits and lays properly when worn.

Sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL. A detailed Size Guide is provided within the pattern.
