First the back is worked back and forth, while the slant of the shoulders is shaped with short rows to create a good fit. After this, each shoulder is worked separately back and forth on the circular needles. The shoulders are then joined to from the front yoke. At the underarm, the front and back are joined and the body is worked in the round on the circular needles. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up and knitted along the armholes and the sleeves are worked in the round down to the cuffs on a circular needle and double-pointed needles or with the\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMagic Loop\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003etechnique.

The fit is oversized. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm [31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(37½-39½) 39½-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ (51¼-55) 55-59 inches].\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe measurements for the finished garment are on the front page of the pattern. Before beginning your project, measure yourself to determine which size to knit. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S dress has a bust circumference of 120 cm [47¼ inches] which in the given example would give you 30 cm [11¾ inches] of positive ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes: \u003c\/strong\u003eXS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBust circumference:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e115 (120) 125 (130) 140 (150) 160 (170) 180 cm [45¼ (47¼) 49¼ (51¼) 55 (59) 63 (67) 70¾ inches]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength: \u003c\/strong\u003e130 (130) 130 (130) 130 (130) 130 (130) 130 cm [51¼ (51¼) 51¼ (51¼) 51¼ (51¼) 51¼ (51¼) 51¼ inches] (measured mid back excl. turtleneck collar)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge: \u003c\/strong\u003e20 sts x 28 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] in stockinette stitch after wash and blocking\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedles: \u003c\/strong\u003eCircular needles: 4 mm [US6] \/ 40, 80 and\/or 100 cm [16, 32 and\/or 40 inches], 3 mm [US2.5] \/40 cm [16 inches]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDouble-pointed needles: 3.5 [US4] and 4 mm [US6] (unless the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eMagic Loop\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003etechnique is used)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/strong\u003e600 (600) 600-700 (600-700) 700 (700) 700 (700) 800 g Pelsuld 8\/2 from Hjelholts Uldspinderi (100 g = 400 m [437 yds]) \u003cstrong\u003eheld together with\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e250-275 (300) 300-325 (300-325) 325 (350) 350 (350) 400 g Brushed Lace from Mohair by Canard (25 g = 210 m [230 yds]) \u003cstrong\u003eor\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eSilk Mohair by Isager Yarn (25 g = 212 m [232 yds])\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout materials: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe yarn amounts given above are for a standard dress length of 130 cm [51¼ inches], which fits an approx. 170 cm [5.6 feet] tall person.
