The Zipper Sweater Light is knitted top-down, with a rib stitch collar that's folded and knitted together. Raglan increases create the yoke, and the body and sleeves are knitted in the round. A facing is added for the zipper, which is sewn in between the layers of knitting.
The Zipper Sweater Light is designed to have an oversized fit and approximately 20 cm (7 ¾ inches) of positive ease. This means that the sweater will be 20 cm (7 ¾ inches) larger in circumference than your bust measurement. If you prefer a sweater with a less oversized fit, it is suggested to choose a smaller size while knitting.
