This pattern can be added to your Ravelry library after purchase. You can find this option in your customer account under Orders.

Description

The Angel Sweater is knit seamlessly from top to bottom, starting with shaping the neck using short rows. Then, the saddle shoulder is worked using the contiguous method, which provides a particularly good and elegant fit. The body features a split hem, where the back part is knit a little longer. Stitches are picked up along the neckline, and a double hem is knit. Wide sleeves give the sweater a very comfortable fit. The edges are finished with the tubular bind-off method, which, combined with the yarn choice, adds a touch of elegance. The sweater is made from an especially soft and shiny yarn, the Angel series by Wool & Forest, a blend of baby alpaca, silk, and cashmere.

Sizes

To fit bust circumference:

77 (81; 85; 89; 93) (97; 107; 115; 123) 132 cm (30.3 [31.9, 33.5, 35, 36.6] [38.2, 42.1, 45.3, 48.4] 52 in)

Finished bust circumference of the sweater:

88 (92; 97; 99; 103) (108; 117; 127, 133) 142 cm (34.6 [36.2, 38.2, 39, 40.6] [42.5, 46, 50, 52.4] 55.9 in)

Includes a positive ease of 10-12 cm (3.9 - 4.7 in). Choose the size closest to your bust circumference plus 10-12 cm (3.9 - 4.7 in). If you are between sizes, choose the larger one.

Example: If your bust circumference is 90 cm (35.4 in), knit size 4, as 90 + 10 = 100 cm (39.4 in), which is closest to size 4 with 99 cm (39 in) bust circumference.
