Knitting that first sweater can feel intimidating, but this design will walk you through each step with helpful tips and tutorials along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis approachable sweater is worked in the round, with no seams or assembly required. And even better, its top-down construction means you can try it on as you go to ensure it fits just right. The downloadable companion offers even more options to enrich your sweater shape, like a slimmer sleeve and body shaping to suit your preferred style. Mix and match design elements and find your stride in sweater knitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eThis pullover is worked from the top down. Knitting begins with the ribbed neckband, followed by a set of short rows worked flat across the back neck to improve neckline fit. The raglan shoulder shaping begins during the short rows and continues throughout the yoke (the upper body). After completion of the yoke, stitches are separated for body and sleeves; each section is worked circularly.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinished Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSizes 1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6, 7) (8, 9, 10, 11)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e35½ (39½, 43½, 47½) (51½, 55½, 59½) (63½, 67½, 71½, 75½) inches [90 (100.5, 110.5, 120.5) (131, 141, 151) (161.5, 171.5, 181.5, 192) cm] circumference at chest\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eTo fit approximate chest sizes: 30-32 (34-36, 38-40, 42-44) (46-48, 50-52, 54-56) (58-60, 62-64, 66-68, 70-72) inches [76-81.5 (86.5-91.5, 96.5-101.5, 106.5-112) (117-122, 127-132, 137-142) (147.5-152.5, 157.5-162.5, 167.5-172.5, 178-183) cm]\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eModel is 5’10”\/178 cm tall and is wearing sample in color \u003cem\u003eBaseline Overtone\u003c\/em\u003e with straight body and bloused sleeves in Size 2 with 8”\/20.5 cm positive ease.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eStriped sample is in colors \u003cem\u003eVacay Overtone\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eBaseline Undertone\u003c\/em\u003e with straight body and tapered sleeves, modeled with 15½“\/39.5 cm positive ease.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNeed help picking a size?
