Sleeves are worked in the round while the body is worked back and forth. The two waist ties are worked first. Afterwards, body and sleeves are worked and shaped separately before being joined at the underarms. Yoke is subsequently shaped with raglan decreases before an i-cord edge neatly finishes the edge along back neck and shoulders. The length of the ties and sleeves can easily be adjusted.
Darling Wrap is intended to be fitted and is therefore designed with negative ease. To choose the correct size, look at the ‘to fit chest circumference’ measurements. If your actual chest circumference is, say, 98 cm [38½”], you should choose to knit a size M in order to achieve the intended fit.
