Anker's Sweater – My Size is a beautifully constructed top-down sweater featuring a distinctive ribbed yoke that transitions seamlessly into classic raglan shaping. Designed with an inclusive size range from XS to 5XL, this pattern offers a relaxed, comfortable fit with carefully graded ease across all sizes.
Construction & Technique
Worked entirely in the round from the top down, this sweater begins with sections of rib and strategic increases at the yoke, then flows into stockinette stitch with traditional raglan shaping. Sleeves are completed last using either double-pointed needles or the Magic Loop technique on circular needles. With no finishing required beyond weaving in ends, this is a satisfying, streamlined knit.
Fit & Sizing
Anker's Sweater is designed with approximately 6–10 cm of positive ease in smaller sizes, gradually reducing in larger sizes for a flattering, wearable silhouette. The pattern includes detailed measurements and a comprehensive size guide to help you choose the perfect fit. Sizes range from XS to 5XL, fitting bust circumferences from 80–150 cm.
