Sleeves are knitted top-down by picking up stitches in the opening of the body.

FIT

The sweater runs large. It has a wide and short fit, with a thick neckline. It's roomy with wide sleeves and a regular/slightly short body. The intended fit is loose, with approximately +20 cm of ease. This means you should choose a size that is 15-20 cm larger than your own bust measurement. Feel free to choose the fit according to your preference. We have also mixed and matched different colors for the ribbed sleeves. Have fun and create your own version! Alternatively, you can substitute one strand of Fluff with 4 strands of Hip Mohair. This gives you a wider color selection and allows you to combine the two yarns as you wish. You can either use both ends of 2 skeins to get 4 strands, divide a skein into 4 small pieces, or use 4 skeins.
