The Anker’s Sweater – My Boyfriend’s Size is knitted from the top down. The yoke is first worked in ribbing sections with increases in the round, then classic raglan increases are made when the stockinette section begins.

The sleeves are knitted at the end, either with double-pointed needles or with circular needles using the Magic Loop technique.

The Anker’s Sweater – My Boyfriend’s Size does not require any special finishing, except for weaving in the ends.

Size Guide

The Anker’s Sweater – My Boyfriend’s Size is designed to be worn with approximately 6 to 13 cm (2¼ to 5¼ in) of positive ease, which means that the sweater should measure 6 to 13 cm more than the bust measurement of the person who will wear it.

Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) are designed to fit the following bust measurements:

86–91 (91–96) 96–101 (101–107) 107–113 (113–119) 119–124 (124–132) cm
[33¾–35¾ (35¾–37¾) 37¾–39¾ (39¾–42¼) 42¼–44½ (44½–46¾) 46¾–48¾ (48¾–52) in]

The finished garment measurements are found on the first page of the pattern. Before starting your project, measure the bust measurement of the person who will wear the sweater to determine the size to knit.

For example, if their bust measurement is 103 cm (40½ in), you should knit a size L. The bust measurement of the sweater in size L is 114 cm (45 in), which will give a positive ease of 11 cm (4¼ in).
