First, the back yoke is worked back and forth. Then, the shoulders are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the top of the back yoke. The body is worked straight down in the round on a circular needle. The sleeves are worked in the round on a circular needle from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the armhole openings. At the end a ribbed edge is worked along the neck edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBegin by knitting a swatch to determine which needle size will give you the correct gauge in the textured pattern. The swatch can be worked using a chart in the pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dagmar Sweater Man is designed to have approx. 20 cm [7¾ inches]. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 86-91 (91-96) 96-101 (101-107) 107-113 (113 119) 119-124 (124-132) 132-144 cm [33¾-35¾ (35¾-37¾) 37¾-39¾ (39¾-42¼) 42¼-44½ (44½-46¾) 46¾-48¾ (48¾-52) 52-56¾ inches]. The measurements for the finished garment are on the front page of the pattern. Before beginning your project, measure yourself to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 105 cm [41¼ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part on your upper body) you should knit a size L. A size L sweater has a bust circumference of 125 cm [49¼ inches] which in the given example would give you 20 cm [7¾ inches] of positive ease.
