The sweater is knitted from the bottom up. It is not intended to fit tightly, so choose a size that is about 5-10 cm larger than your bust measurement. The work is knitted with double strands throughout. In the beginning, it is knitted in the round, but after binding off for the sleeves, the front and back pieces are finished separately. The sleeves are picked up and knitted from the top down.
