The Bjørksweater is knit in the round from top down. The neckline is knit in ribbing and folded down to the inside where it is sewn in place. It is also possible to omit the double-folded collar and instead have a higher neckline. Small cables are knit over the yoke using a technique that does not require a cable needle. Then the body and sleeves are knit in stockinette stitch and finished with a ribbed edge.
The Bjørksweater is designed to have a range of motion greater than the actual bust measurement, a so-called positive ease. We recommend using the "guiding bust measurement" as a reference when choosing size. For example, if you have a bust measurement of 98 cm, you should knit size M to achieve the intended fit.
