Ursa by Jacqueline Cieslak
From the designer: "URSA is a bear of a sweater — chunky, bold, snuggly, fierce. With simple construction and interesting detailing, this cropped bulky weight pullover is a quick and enjoyable knit. The sweater is constructed from the top-down with raglan shaping for the sleeves and optional horizontal bust darts in 3 cup sizes. The pattern includes directions to try it on as you work and notations to help you tweak the size (including the length, if cropped isn’t your thing!) according to your preference. Also included in the pattern are links to custom video tutorials that will walk you through the techniques for half brioche stitch and German short rows."

SIZING
------
All my garment patterns are #sizeinclusive up to at least a 60” full bust circumference.
Sizes by finished bust circumference
In inches: (34, 38, 42) [46, 50, 54] {58, 62, 66} inches
In cm: (86.5, 96.5, 106.5) [117, 127, 137] {147.5, 157.5, 167.5} cm
To choose your size, measure the circumference around the fullest part of your bust, then add 2-6” (depending on how much ease you want) and choose the closest size. If you are between sizes, you can size up or down depending on whether you want more or less ease in the bicep (see full schematics illustration in the photos to the left).
These patterns are printed in booklet form on high-quality, heavy-duty paper with color photographs.
