Before you begin
Make a washed or blocked swatch and check both gauge and fabric before starting. Buy complete balls, allowing extra yarn for swatching, changes to length or fit, and differences in gauge. The metre figures are based on the designer’s quantities, rather than exact measured consumption.
Frequently asked questions
Is My Boyfriend’s Size the same as Anker’s Sweater – My Size?
It is a separate men’s pattern with its own finished measurements, lengths and yarn quantities. Use this listing’s XS–4XL table rather than the adult My Size table.
Do I need double-pointed needles for the sleeves?
You can use double-pointed needles or the Magic Loop technique on a long circular needle. The sleeves are worked in the round from the top down.
