Mabel is a loose-fitting, comfortable pullover. The pattern is also infinitely adaptable - try knitting the neck ribbing into a cowl or extra long fold-over turtleneck. Add cables, split the hem, knit it knee length, add stripes - the sky’s the limit. It is written in 10 sizes from 36 to 72” bust, so you have lots of options for fit, as well!

To select your size:
1. The model is wearing size 3 / 44" finished bust circumference. I do not know the model's exact bust measurement, but I am guessing there is about 8" of ease. So if you like that look, plan to knit the size about 8" bigger than your actual bust measurement.
2. Look to your closet. Is there a similar sweater or sweatshirt that you love to wear? Measure it and plan to knit the same size Mabel.
3. Check out the recording of Julie of Cocoknits and I discussing sizing, yarn options, and sweater modifications.
