Construction note
Work top down. First the double neckband is worked in rib. The main pattern is then established while short rows are worked to shape the neckline and raglan increases begin. All this is described row by row. When short rows are complete, you simply work in the round. The first rounds are also described round by round, but once the front pattern has been established, a chart is provided for the remainder.
Size selection
Siri sweater has an intended positive ease of approx. 18-25 cm. The pictured sweater has a positive ease of approx. 20 cm. The fit is flexible, so select a size above or below if you want less or more positive ease. The length is measured at the centre-back, not including the neckband.
