Gauge

21 stitches x approx. 26 rows in plain stockinette stitch = 10 x 10 cm on 4 mm (US 6) needles.

Choosing a size

The Porcelain Sweater is designed to have a positive ease of approximately 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in).
The pictured model has a positive ease of 25 cm (10 in),
meaning the sweater measures 25 cm more than the wearer's bust circumference.
Length is measured at the center back, not including the neckband.

Construction

The sweater is worked top-down.
You begin with the upper back, then shape the shoulders down to the armholes.
Next, you knit the front of the shoulders and shape the neckline.

You can choose to work the shoulders with short rows
or to cast on stitches separately, then seam the shoulders.
Both methods are explained in the pattern.

Once the upper back and front sections are completed, they are joined in the round
and the body is knitted on circular needles.
The sleeve stitches are then picked up along the armholes
and the sleeves are knitted top-down (in the round with double-pointed needles or magic loop).
Finally, stitches are picked up around the neckline to form a folded neckband.
