Description
Wrap yourself up in the luxurious coziness that is Glacier Run! It’s got all the squish you could want in one awesome raglan pullover. It’s a fun pattern that you’ll absolutely fly through with multicolor scrappy stripes, compound raglan shaping for a great fit, and optional waist shaping. I wanted something so comfy I’d be thrilled to snuggle into it every day while still being so cute I’d want to wear it out and show it off. I hope you’ll find it as relaxing to wear as it is to knit!

Finished Bust Circumference:
31.25 (35, 39, 43.25, 47) (51, 55.25, 59, 63)”/ 79.5 (89, 99, 110, 119.5) (129.5, 140.5, 150, 160) cm
Glacier Run has a recommended fit of up to 2” of negative ease or 6” positive ease from your full (or upper if you’re greater than a C cup) bust measurement.
Sample:
A size 3 styled in two different ways: On me with 5.5” of positive ease from my upper bust measurement (33.5” upper bust/37” full bust). On my mom with 1” of negative ease from her upper bust measurement (40” upper bust/44” full bust). For generously busted women like ourselves, it’s always recommended to go with the upper bust measurement to get a good fit in the shoulders.
