**Sweater Sizes Available:** 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

**Bust Circumference of the Finished Sweater:** Measurements in cm: 96, 102, 104, 108, 112, 118, 122, 128 | Measurements in inch: 38, 40, 41, 42.5, 44, 46.5, 48, 50. This range of sizes ensures a comfortable fit for various body types.

**Suggested Ease:** This sweater features approximately 10 cm of positive ease, allowing for a flattering and relaxed silhouette perfect for everyday wear.

**Knitting Gauge:** To achieve the desired fit and pattern, ensure your gauge is 28 stitches by 36 rows or rounds to measure 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch, using US4/3.5mm knitting needles.

**Recommended Yarn:** Use a fingering weight yarn in two stunning colors to create a beautiful contrast. For this pattern, I used Positive Ease Pure Merino in the color Winter’s Spell (Main Color - MC) and Positive Ease Merino Singles in a deep, rich dark blue (Contrast Color - CC). This combination not only adds depth to your sweater but also enhances its overall aesthetic.

**Yarn Amounts Needed:** The amount of yarn required varies depending on your selected size and the desired length of the body of the sweater. For my custom version in size 3, which I made slightly longer at about 65 cm to accommodate my tall frame, I used 3 skeins (100g each) of the Main Color (MC) and 1 skein (100g) of the Contrast Color (CC). Be sure to check your measurements carefully to ensure you have enough yarn for your project.

**Needles and Essential Tools:** For this pattern, you will need circular knitting needles in sizes US3/3.25mm and US4/3.5mm, a crochet hook for finishing, scrap yarn for stitch holders, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, scissors for cutting yarn, and 5 stitch markers to keep track of your progress. These tools will help you create a beautifully finished sweater.
