The Illusionist Sweater is available in a wide range of sizes from XS (28-30” bust, 33” hip) to 5XL (56-62” bust, 66” hip), ensuring a perfect fit for various body types. To create this fashionable sweater, you will need approximately 580 to 1,220 yards of bulky weight yarn (category 5). If you decide to add extra length, simply include an additional ~80 yards in your calculations.
