The Balloon Sweater features dramatic balloon sleeves that begin low on the shoulder and taper into close-fitting ribbed cuffs. The sweater is worked from the top down. This kit includes all of the Morris Empire 4 Ply and Rowan Kidsilk Haze you will need to knit your own Balloon Sweater - just choose your size, colour and accessories, and we'll do the rest!
The Balloon Sweater is designed to have 15 cm [6 inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 15 cm [6 inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm [31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37½ (37½-39¼) 39¼-43¼ (43¼-47) 47-51 inches]. The measurements for the finished garment are on the front page of the pattern (note that these measurements are only achieved if the sweater is knitted in the correct gauge). Before beginning your project, measure yourself with a measuring tape around your bust or your widest upper body point to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 94 cm [37 inches] around your bust (or wherever you are the widest) you should knit a size M. A size M sweater has a bust circumference of 110 cm [43¼ inches], which in the given example would give you 16 cm [6¼ inches] of positive ease.
