Construction

Work from the top down. First, knit the top part of the back piece from the slanted shoulders down to the end of the armhole. Then knit the top parts of the front piece out from the slanted shoulders of the back piece. The neckline is formed and the front piece is worked down to the end of the armhole. Now the two parts are joined and finished in the round on circular needles. Then knit stitches up along the sleeve opening and knit the sleeve in the round from the top down. Finally, knit stitches up to the neckline along the neckline.

Size selection

Peggy sweater has an oversized fit. Calculate a positive ease of 20-30 cm depending on how oversized you want your sweater. In the pictures, the sweater is shown with a positive ease of approx. 26 cm. If you want a less oversized fit, choose a size smaller. The stated length is measured at the center back, excl. the neckline.
