I have been looking for so long for an easy sweater pattern style that I like for my first sweater and yours is it! Perfect! I just need to make it bigger and not sure how to do that. Do you have this pattern in a bigger size or can you tell me how to make it larger? I need the bust to be at least 40inches. I like it because it is loose, so I would need to make it bigger than 40inches to achieve this. Please let me know and thanks ever so much! I so appreciate your knitting pattern!
