The Cozycablesweater is a sweater that is worn oversized and keeps you warm on cool summer evenings. The sweater is knitted top down, starting by working the shoulder. Then stitches for front & back are picked up from the shoulder and first the body needs to be worked in rows before joining to the round. A special feature of the Cozycablesweater are the side slits on the body, which are emphasized by decreases in the front & back. The sweater is knitted slightly shortened. However, if that is not desired, there is also a note, where the body can be lengthened. The sleeves are also generous, but become narrower towards the arm hem with the help of symmetrically worked decreases.

Size guide
 
The sweater should be knitted with a positive ease of about 25-30 cm. The size is determined by the bust circumference, which is approximately (80-85cm) 90-95cm (105-110cm) 115-120cm (130-135cm) 140-145 cm.
If your bust circumference is exactly in the range between two sizes, it does not mean that you cannot knit the sweater. You are free to decide if you prefer to wear your sweater a little more oversized by choosing the larger size. If you don't like your sweater quite so generous, choose the smaller size.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to offer more in-between sizes, because then the cable pattern cannot be continued continuously.
