The new Idris sweater is knitted all in one piece from the top down in simple knit and purl stitches with easy increases towards the bottom, ever growing in both the body and the 3/4 length sleeves. It's light enough to wear in the summer and with a blouse or long I think that is definitely a worthwhile knit~
The pattern is entirely written, has a schematic and a measurement chart for sizes ranging from 34/36/38/40", 42/44/46/48/50", 52/54". A loose fit across the chest with between 6" and 10" of positive ease worked into every size, even more room in the bottoms of both, the body as well as the sleeves.
