Your size Choose the size nearest your actual bust measurement. The pattern adds the ease the original design had.

Yarn weight The original: Bulky (chunky), at about 14 sts and 22 rows to 4 in (10 cm) over the pattern. For the closest match to the photo, use a yarn that knits to this gauge. Super bulky yarn isn't offered (the sideways sleeves and collar get very heavy), and nor is anything finer than worsted (Aran): the slouchy 80s look is lost.

Your gauge

This one needs a swatch. Please measure your gauge over the textured pattern itself, not plain stockinette (the pattern shows you how to knit the swatch). The gauge on a yarn label is measured over plain stockinette, and this stitch pattern knits up differently, so the label won't give you the right size.

Stitches Rows

This pattern can be written for 11.5 to 19 stitches per 4 in (10 cm). How to measure your gauge

I'd like my pattern made and supplied straight away, and I understand that once it's supplied I lose the 14-day right to cancel (see our terms). This doesn't affect my rights if the pattern is faulty.
