    Gauge
    21 sts x approx. 24 rows in colorwork pattern = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4”] on 4.5 mm [US 7].
    Wash and block the swatch before measuring the gauge.

    Size guide
    The Inge Sweater is meant to have a positive ease of 12-18 cm [4.75-7”], depending on how loose-fitting you would like it to be. Picture shows a sweater with a positive ease of 15 cm [6”]. Find your personal bust circumference by measuring around your chest (or the largest part of your upper body). Then look at the measurements at the beginning of the pattern (these are the finished measurements of the sweater). Positive ease is the difference between your personal measurement and the sweater's measurement. For example, if your bust circumference is 94cm [37”], a size M will give you a positive ease of 15 cm [6”]. (109 cm - 94 cm = 15 cm). [43” - 37” = 6”]

    Construction
    The sweater is worked from the top down. Start with the neckline, and at the end of the neckline, short rows are worked on each shoulder. After the neckline, short rows are worked on each side of the front piece, and at the same time, raglan increases are made. Then, the yoke is worked in pattern with raglan increases. Finish the body and sleeves separately. The pattern is worked only on the right side.
