The Otto Sweater Man is worked from the top down in a stripe pattern. First, the back yoke is worked. Next, each shoulder is worked separately and back and forth on the circular needle. These are then joined to form the front yoke. The front and back yoke are then joined to form the body which is worked in the round on the circular needle. The sleeves are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the armhole openings. The folded neck edge is worked at the end from stitches that are picked up and knitted around the neck opening.
Size guide
The Otto Sweater Man is designed to have approx. 10-15 cm [4-6 inches]. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 86-91 (91-96) 96-101 (101-107) 107-113 (113 119) 119-124 (124-132) 132-144 cm [33¾-35¾ (35¾-37¾) 37¾-39¾ (39¾-42¼) 42¼-44½ (44½-46¾) 46¾-48¾ (48¾-52) 52-56¾ inches]. The measurements for the finished garment are on the front page of the pattern. Before beginning your project, measure yourself to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 103 cm [40½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part on your upper body) you should knit a size L. A size L sweater has a bust circumference of 116 cm [45¾ inches] which in the given example would give you 13 cm [5 inches] of positive ease.
