Specifications
Origin
The NIA pullover is worked from the bottom up, initially in rounds, and from the armholes to the shoulders in rows. For the colour blocks, the yarns are worked either single-stranded or together, creating both dense and slightly transparent stripes. The difference in the gauges is counterbalanced with increases and decreases in the first round of each colour change. The sleeves are picked up from the armholes and worked in the round.
The sizes correspond to the bust circumference as follows: XS (S/M; L/XL; XXL/3XL; 4XL/5XL) = 30 (32–35; 39–42; 46–50; 54–58)” / 76 (82–90; 98–107; 117–127; 137–147) cm bust circumference (measured on the body). The pullover has a loose fit with a positive ease of 2–2.4” (5–6 cm). Example: If your bust circumference is 35” (90 cm), you knit size M and the pullover fits comfortably with a positive ease of 2.4” (6 cm).
