First, the top part of the back yoke is worked back and forth on the needle with increases. Then, the shoulders are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the back yoke. The work is then joined on a circular needle to be worked in the round while stitches are picked up and knitted for the sleeves, and the rest of the yoke is worked in the round with raglan increases. The body and the sleeves are worked in the round on a circular needle. At the end, a rib neck edge is worked along the neck opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBegin by knitting a swatch to determine which needle size will give you the correct gauge in the textured pattern. The swatch can be worked using a chart in the pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Saga Sweater is designed to have approx. 20 cm [7¾ inches] of positive ease for the smaller sizes and then gradually less for the larger sizes. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140 150) cm [29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼-51¼) 51¼ 55 (55-59) inches]. The measurements for the finished sweater are listed on the front page of the pattern. Measure yourself before beginning your project to determine which size will fit you the best. 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 sweater in size S has a bust circumference of 110 cm [43¼ inches] which in the given example would give you 20 cm [7¾ inches] of positive ease.
