The Tagetes sweater is a classic and stylish model that will add elegance to your wardrobe. It can be styled with everything from jeans to an elegant skirt. The sweater’s simple design makes it suitable for both everyday wear and more formal occasions.

This pattern is designed with a positive ease of about 5-10 cm, which gives a comfortable fit. You can choose the smallest of the two sizes you fall between to ensure the best fit. The neckline can also be adjusted according to your preferences.

The sweater is knit from the top down, first the upper back in back-and-forth rows, then the shoulders, which continue to form the front piece in back-and-forth rows. The body is knit in the round, and the sleeves are also knit in the round. The sleeves are finished with a ribbed edge, providing an elegant finish. The neckline is knitted last.

Techniques used:

• Knit pattern from chart or description.
• Increases in the lifted stitch to the right and left.
• Decreases to the right and left.
• Eyelet pattern (decreases to the right and left + yarn overs).
• Optionally, Italian bind-off.

You should choose a size based on your bust measurement. The sweater is designed with a positive ease of about 5-10 cm. The pattern includes guidance for adjusting the size if your bust measurement falls at the upper or lower end of a size range.
