PATTERN | LEONTIS PULLOVER

English PDF knitting pattern. Downloadable instructions; yarn and tools are sold separately. No frills, yet elegant, in a wonderfully natural color, this sweater is knit with an undyed alpaca-organic-cotton blend. The Leontis pullover is worked top down seamlessly in rounds. First the neckline is knitted in rows, while increases on both sides shape the neckline opening. At the same time, increases for the shoulders are made at the four raglan lines. The sweater is knitted in stockinette stitch with ribbed cuffs. Triangles knitted in garter stitch accentuate the sleeves. The neckline is finished by adding some rounds in ribbing pattern. The sizes S (M, L,  XL, XXL) are designed to fit a chest circumference of 35.4 (38.6; 41.7; 44.8; 48)"  The sweater has a tight fit as is worn with a positive ease of 0.8 – 1.6" (2 - 4 cm). Example: If you have a bust measurement of 38.6" (98 cm), then knit the sweater in size M and it will fit tightly with a positive ease of 0.8" (2 cm).
