DESCRIPTION
Day Off sweater has a relaxed fit perfect for those Sundays where you would rather not leave the sofa. The sweater is worked top down and uses short rows to create a semi deep, oval neckline. The shoulder is constructed with an asymmetric raglan that creates a feminine fit over the shoulder and bust.
Using short rows the body of the sweater is worked longer on the back than on the front. The sleeves are straight and knitted extra long with an opening for the thumb in the ribbing.

SIZE GUIDE
Check your bust measurement to find the right size. Sizes A (B) C (D) E (F) correspond to the following bust circumference 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) cm [31 ½-33 ½ (33 ½-35 ½) 35 ½-37 ½ (37 ½-39 ½) 39 ½-43 ¼ (43 ¼-47 ¼)]”. The sweater has a relaxed fit with an approximate positive ease of between 20 – 25 cm [8 - 10]”. However, you can choose to knit it with a smaller or larger positive ease by sizing up or down, as it suits you, and adjust the length of the sleeves and body as needed.
It is highly recommended to knit a swatch and wash it before you begin knitting so you can check your gauge is correct before starting the blouse.
