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

Yarn weight The original: Worsted (Aran), at about 18 sts and 24 rows to 4 in (10 cm) over stockinette. For the closest match to the photo, use a yarn that knits to this gauge. Bulky (chunky) yarns and anything finer than DK aren't offered: the leaf panel is a fixed number of stitches, so in bulky yarn it would swamp the smaller sizes and the leaves would look coarse, and in finer yarn it shrinks to a thin strip.

Your gauge Not a swatcher? Most of us aren't! Just enter the gauge printed on your yarn's label (most labels give stitches and rows over 4 in or 10 cm). It's a good starting point, and the pattern gives you measurements to check against as you go. Want it to fit perfectly? Knit a swatch, wash it, let it dry and measure it over stockinette on your main needles. The leaf panel is worked at the same gauge.

This pattern can be written for 16 to 24 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.
