Eirlys Sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down in the round.  First a few short rows are worked to shape the back of the neck. Next, you work the yoke in an alternating stripes and slip stitch pattern. A few more short rows are worked to shape the lower back of the yoke. The sleeve stitches are placed on hold while you knit the body. Lastly, the sleeves are worked from the shoulders to cuff.

Sample shown in size A with 1 inch / 2.5 cm positive ease at bust.
Sizing tip:
For a more fitted sweater, choose a size closest to your actual bust measurement.
For a looser relaxed fit, choose a size 2-6 inches (5-15 cm) larger than your actual bust size.
