ABOUT THE WORK
The OMG Sweater is designed with a relaxed, boxy fit, wide sleeves with cable patterns and a V-neck. It is knitted top down in stockinette stitch.

You start by knitting the upper part of the back piece, then the stitches for the front piece are picked up along the shoulder seam.

The sleeves are knitted by picking up stitches along the armhole. The sleeves have a nice cable pattern and are finished with a wide ribbed edge.

The measurements given are the finished measurements of the sweater, and the model is intended to have a positive ease of movement of at least 30 cm, which gives a loose and relaxed look - be aware of the finished measurements of the piece when choosing a size! Measure yourself at the widest point of your chest and compare with the finished measurements.

TIP: Measure a shirt that you think fits well and choose the size that best matches its measurements.

Enjoy!
