The NORBU turtleneck sweater for men is worked seamlessly top down. The neckline is shaped with short rows and increases for the shoulders are made along four raglan lines. A panel with a honeycomb-like textured pattern adds interest to the lower parts of the sleeves. Turtleneck, hemline and cuffs are worked in ribbing pattern.

Sizes:

The sizes correspond to bust circumference as follows: S (M; L; XL; XXL; XXXL) = 35 (39; 42; 45; 48; 51)” / 90 (98; 106; 114; 122; 130) cm) bust circumference (measured at the body). The sweater has a relaxed fit and should be worn with some positive ease. Example: If you have a bust measurement of 39” (98 cm), then knit the sweater in size M and it will fit loosely with a positive ease of 2.4” (6 cm)
