Product Description
Notes on construction:
Jacquotte is a classic modified drop-shoulder sweater with a boat neck. The armhole shaping reduces some of the extra fabric that can usually be found at the armholes of drop-shoulder sweaters. The sleeves are relatively skinny, to counterbalance the loosely fitted body. The sweater is worked in four pieces: a front, a back and two identical sleeves. All the pieces are worked flat from the bottom edge up to the neck and seamed together at the end.
Finished measurements:
Bust circumference with ease: 108.5 (117.5, 128.5, 138, 147, 158, 167) cm / [43.5 (47, 51.5, 55.25, 58.75, 63.25, 66.75)"].
Total length: 58.5 (59.5, 61, 64.5, 66.5, 68.5, 73.5) cm / [23.25 (23.75, 24.25, 25.75, 26.5, 27.25, 29)"].
Recommended ease: approx. 27-28 cm / 10.75-11.5" of positive ease at bust.
