The Basic Sweater My Size, a beautiful pattern by Trine Bertelsen of CaMaRose, is a classic top-down adult jumper worked with short row neck shaping to give it a better fit. The pattern can be knit at 3 different gauges so we highly recommend you knit a gauge swatch to determine your preferred gauge. After you've identified your gauge, measure the widest part of your chest and add 10 cm. Once you know both your gauge and your bust circumference (+10 cm), choose the size you'd like to knit.
