SIZES
1 (2, 3, 4)(5, 6, 7)(8, 9, 10)
This sweater is designed to fit with 2-6” / 5-15 cm of positive ease at the bust.
The modeled GHOST sample is shown in a size 3 with 4” / 10 cm of positive ease at the bust.
(NOTE: My original plan was to release this pattern with the GHOST motif only, but I love the other characters so much I decided to include them all for you! The CAT and FRANKENSTEIN samples shown in the photos are from the baby-child version of this pattern. While the sweaters shown in these photos smaller, the CAT & FRANKENSTEIN motifs used in the baby-child yokes are the same motifs for the adult versions. All of the adult versions of the sweater will feature a row of pumpkins above and below the yoke motif, as shown in the GHOST sample. THIS PATTERN DOES NOT INCLUDE BABY-CHILD SIZES.)
