Marble Sweater

Marble Sweater is knitted from the top down with raglan increases at the yoke. The neckline is knitted down and short rows are worked in the back to shape the neckline. 

Size guide

Marble Sweater should have a positive ease of approx. 20 cm relative to your bust measurement. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement, measured on the body, of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the gauge is maintained). Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. If you, for example, measure 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A sweater in size S has a width of 109 cm and will give a positive ease of 19 cm in the example above.
