FEATURES: wildly beautiful creamy off-white Tunisian crochet base with cross-stitched flowers (very reminiscent of gorgeous Ukrainian arts) in bright shades of orange, brown 3D crochet borders, fringed bottom edge, crochet cuffs designed to be rolled up but can be rolled down to protect your hands too

WEIGHT/STRUCTURE: medium-heavy, comfy

FABRIC CONTENT: unknown for sure, likely acrylic. cuffs are a soft acrylic/wool blend.

OTHER NOTES: typical fuzzies/pilling from washing. full disclosure: I made this for myself and wore it a couple of times. I love it enough to let it go becaUs I don't wear it enough. It should be worn! (I love it SO MUCH and got so many compliments on it!) It has been washed since my last wearing.

SIZE: The following measurements are listed in inches and are taken with garment flat so please double the number where appropriate (waist, chest, sleeve width, etc) in order to get full circumference. I try my best to be accurate but please allow a little room for error.

Armpit to armpit/body width 24"
Total armspan 55" to end of folded cuff (as pictured)
Total top to bottom 45" including fringe
Shoulders free
Sleeve cuffs - so difficult to measure but approx 9" in circumference, very little stretch at the place where the cuffs are attached to the sleeve. I would consider it an average wrist hole but you should measure your hand and wrist to be sure. The cuffs are separately made from the sweater and removable if you know where to cut.

FIT NOTES: These are designed to be boxy, slouchy, oversized, fits like a kimono so it should be loose. I generally recommend they be at least 6 inches bigger than your chest measures. It will be a closer fit on a bigger body and more oversized on a smaller body. Modeled on a 38-30-40" 5'5" US M/L body and made specifically for me. This one would be best for someone around my size. It could comfortably accommodate a larger body but please measure your own clothes/body and compare to the numbers above to ensure a fit that works for you.

CARE: Cool, gentle cycle. Lay flat to dry or tumble dry on air. (Do not hang.)
