LARES is a men ́s pullover that is knitted seamlessly from bottom up in rounds. Body and sleeves are worked separately until they are joined at the yoke. Both the sleeves and the yoke are knitted in a multicoloured pattern that is reminiscent of classic Scandinavian designs. Decreases are worked to shape the shoulders. The neckline is shaped with short rows.

Sizes:

The sizes correspond to bust circumference as follows: S (M; L; XL; XXL) = 35 (39; 42; 45; 48)” / 90 (98; 106; 114; 122) cm) bust circumference (measured at the body). The pullover has a relaxed fit and should be worn with a positive ease of 4” (10 cm). Example: If you have a bust measurement of 39” (98 cm), then knit the pullover in size M and it will fit loosely with a positive ease of 4” (10 cm).
