**Women’s Oversized Sweater Knitting Pattern: Sizes S to XXXL**
Craft the perfect oversized sweater with our women's knitting pattern designed for sizes S (M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL). This cozy sweater features an approximate finished chest measurement of 36” (40”, 43”, 47 ½”, 52”, 56”) and is intended to be worn with 2-4” of positive ease for comfort and style. When selecting your size, choose one that is 2-4” larger than your actual chest measurement to achieve the ideal fit. The blanket length from the back hem measures 24 ½” (25 ½”, 26 ½”, 27 ½”, 28 ½”, 29 ½”), and the sleeve length is a comfortable 17”. This versatile piece is perfect for any casual occasion or layering in colder weather.
