{"product_id":"vega-sweater","title":"Vega Sweater","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eVega Sweater\u003c\/strong\u003e is a generously oversized, beautifully constructed sweater worked top-down with a distinctive yoke construction — the back yoke is shaped first with short rows and increases, then the shoulders are built by picking up stitches along the yoke edges. The remaining yoke stitches are joined and worked in the round before the body and sleeves continue separately. The neckline is finished with a double-knit edge that transitions into a 2×2 rib — a refined detail that gives the collar exceptional structure and warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith approx. 22 cm of positive ease and worked in a DK, the Vega Sweater is the kind of sweater you reach for every time the temperature drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorked top-down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack yoke worked first with short rows and increases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShoulders picked up along yoke edges and worked separately, then joined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemaining yoke stitches picked up and worked in the round on a circular needle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody worked in the round on a circular needle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeves worked in the round on double-pointed needles or Magic Loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck edge worked in double knitting, then 2×2 rib, from stitches picked up along the neckline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e★★★★☆ (4 out of 5)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSizes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to fit a bust circumference of 75–80 (80–85) 85–90 (90–95) 95–100 (100–110) 110–120 (120–130) 130–140 (140–150) cm [29½–31½ (31½–33½) 33½–35½ (35½–37½) 37½–39½ (39½–43¼) 43¼–47¼ (47¼–51¼) 51¼–55 (55–59) inches].\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vega Sweater is designed with \u003cstrong\u003eapprox. 22 cm [8¾ inches] of positive ease\u003c\/strong\u003e.
