The Monday Sweater is knitted top down with raglan increases on the yoke. The neck edge is knitted down and shortened rounds are knitted in the neck to form the neckline. The sleeves are knitted in the round on double pointed needles or with Magic Loop technology.
Size guide
Monday Sweater should have a range of motion ( positive ease) of approx. 15-20 cm in relation to your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement, measured on your own body, of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110- 120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern. Before you start knitting, measure yourself to find the size that fits you best. If you e.g. measures 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A sweater in size S has an overall width of 110 cm and in the mentioned example will give a range of motion ( positive ease ) of 20 cm.
The model in the picture wears a size XS, has a bust measurement of 82 cm and is 164 cm tall.

Knitting without mohair? Feel free to replace a thread of silk mohair with Alpaca 1 from Isager (50 g = 400 m), Alpakka trailing thread from Sandnes (50 g = 400 m) or Alva from Filcolana (25 g = 175 m). Then count so that you have the same number of meters as the original yarn. So if you need 125 grams of silk mohair (let's count on 210 meters for the sake of simplicity) you need 5x210 meters = 1050 meters. It corresponds to 3 skeins of Alpaca 1 or Alpakka twine, or 6 skeins of Alva.
