A great next step after your first sweater.
The Power Puff sweater is worked from the top down, and it is easy to adjust the length of the body and sleeves to fit your body. The sweater is seamless. You cast on the back piece and work this back and forth in stockinette stitch, before you pick up and knit stitches for each shoulder. The shoulders are knitted separately with short rows and increases to shape the neckline opening. Then the shoulders are joined for the front piece. Afterwards, the front and back pieces are joined and the body is worked in the round. The sleeves are worked by picking up and knitting stitches around the armholes, and are shaped with increases and short rows. The neckline ribbing is worked by picking up and knitting stitches.

Bust measurement: Measure yourself at the widest point of your chest to find your chest measurement and see what your recommended size is. The sweater is designed to be fitted, and we therefore recommend choosing the size based on your bust measurement. If you're in between two sizes, we recommend choosing the smaller one. The orange sweater in the picture is a size M (bust measurement approximately 95 cm).
Bust circumference: The sweater is designed to be fitted.
Length: Measured mid-back, excluding the neckline ribbing.
