The Louvre Sweater is knitted from top to bottom with raglan increases. After the ribbed on the neck, shortened rows are made to shape the neck cutout.

Größenguide
The Louvre Sweater should have a range of movement (positive ease) of about 20 cm in relation to your chest circumference. The sizes XS(S) M(L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) match a chest circumference on the body of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) cm. Note that the chest circumference is measured directly below the arm neckline and that there are decreases along the trunk sides, so that the sweater becomes narrower downwards. Take measurements of yourself before you begin the actual knitting to determine the size that suits you best. If your breast circumference (or the widest part of your body) is 92 cm, you should choose size M. A sweater in M has a chest circumference of 114 cm and in this case would have a range of movement (positive ease) of 22 cm.
