CONSTRUCTION NOTES
The sweater is knitted from the top to the bottom. It begins with the Back neck stitches and then additional stitches are added for the raglans and the Front neckline. When the raglan portion is completed, the stitches of the Sleeves are placed aside and the stitches of the Body are continued to be worked to the desired length. Then, the Sleeves are
worked and, finally, the collar is completed.

MEASUREMENTS
Chest circum.: 110 (120, 130, 140) cm
Because the sweater is knitted from the top to the bottom, the Total Length is the desired length of the individual.
Sleeve Length: 30 (35, 40, 45) cm  or desired length + Cuff
Circumference at Upper Arm of Sleeve: 35 (37, 41, 47) cm
Depth of Raglan: 19 (20, 21, 22) cm
The exact amount of yarn depends on the desired width and length of the sweater. Therefore, the information is only an approximation.
