Note:

If your tension varies depending on the pattern, adjust your needle size.

Sizing Guide

The Terracotta Sweater is designed with 20 to 28 cm (8 to 11 in) of positive ease.
The model shown is worn with 25 cm (10 in) of ease,
meaning the sweater measures 25 cm (10 in) more than the wearer's bust circumference.

Example:
If your bust circumference is 94 cm (37 in):

• Size S/M → 26 cm (10 in) ease
  (120 – 94 = 26 cm / 47.25” – 37” = 10.25”)

Ease is the difference between your personal measurement and the finished sweater measurement.

Construction

The Terracotta Sweater is knitted top-down.

1. We start with the upper back, shaping the sloped shoulders, then knit down to the armhole depth.

2. Next, stitches are picked up for the front section along the back shoulders.

3. The front shoulders are shaped with short rows.

4. Then, the neckline is shaped, and the two front sides are joined and knitted down to the armhole depth.

5. Once the upper back and front are complete, both sections are joined, and the body is knitted in the round on circular needles.

6. The sleeves are then picked up along the armholes and knitted top-down, in the round.

7. Finally, stitches are picked up around the neckline to work the collar border, which is then folded inwards.
