Positive ease is the difference between your personal measurement and the sweater’s measurement. For example, if your bust circumference is 94 cm 37”, a size M will give you a positive ease of 20 cm 7.75”m – 94 cm = 20 cm) 44.75”- 37” = 7.75”

Construction
Rosie Yoke Sweater is worked top-down (the neckband is added at last) with a raised back neck, created using German short rows (GSR). This means that when working the short rows, you work back and forth in stockinette stitch (knit on the right side, purl on the wrong side). Apart from the short rows, the sweater is worked in stockientte stitch only. The yoke is shaped with increases. The colorwork pattern and the increases are shown in the chart.
