I knit this sweater in 2003 for my hubby. I don’t remember what was the measurement, but try to write down the pattern for arm and neck shapping.
I knit with black and gray colors.
I used nr 3.mm and 3.50mm knitting needles and nr 3mm circular knitting needles 40cm length.
You can use any type of yarn and nr of needles, you can also adjust sts for fit your size.
