Size guide
Vega V-neck is intended to have a positive ease of approx. 10-15 cm [4-6”], depending on how loosely fitting you want it to be. The sweater is shown with a positive ease of approx. 22 cm [8.75”]. Find your personal bust circumference by measuring around your chest (or the widest part of your upper body). Then look at the measurements given 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 measurement. For example, if your bust circumference is 94 cm [37”], a size M would provide you with a positive ease of 15 cm [6”] (109 cm – 94 cm = 15 cm). [43” - 37” = 6”]. *
The length is measured at the center back excluding the neckline.
Construction
Vega V-neck is worked top-down with raglan increases and V-neck shaping. It is worked back and forth until the V-neck is complete. The yoke is then finished in the round. Once the yoke is worked, the stitches are divided, and the body and sleeves are completed separately. Finally, the ribbed neckline is worked.
