The Paris Pearl Sweater is a unisex, textured drop-shoulder sweater with a slightly oversized fit. This design features timeless motifs intended to become an heirloom piece, to be passed down through generations. The construction of this sweater is knit in panels - front, back, and sleeves - which are seamed together. The neckline is worked in the round after the panels have been assembled. For knitters who prefer a seamless construction, instructions for a seamless option are included.

Size Guide:
The Paris Pearl Sweater is designed with 15-25 cm [6-10 inches] of positive ease. Positive ease refers to the measurement of the final garment being larger than the initial measurement.

Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL / 2XL (3XL) are based on a chest circumference of 75-85 (90-100) 105-115 (125-135) 140-150 (155-165) cm [29.5-33.5 (35.5-39) 41-45 (49-53) 55-59 (61-65)
inches].

To choose your size:
1. Measure your chest at its widest circumference, making sure the measuring tape is snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit a finger underneath the measuring tape.
2. Add 15-25 cm [6-10 inches] to this measurement to account for positive ease.
3. Use the resulting measurement when selecting your size. For example, if your chest circumference measures 100 cm [39 inches], knit a size S. If you are in between sizes, choose the larger size.

Modification Options:
- Fit adjustment
- Length adjustment
- Tapered Fit
- Different Yarn Weight
