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

Yarn weight The original: A looped alpaca of about super bulky (super chunky) weight, at about 11 sts and 20 rows to 4 in (10 cm) over garter stitch. For the closest match to the photo, use a yarn that knits to this gauge. Only bulky (chunky) and super bulky yarns are offered: in thinner yarn the blown-up look is lost and the batwing droops, and in the very thickest yarns the rib bands turn into thick ropes.

Your gauge

This one needs a swatch. Please measure your gauge over garter stitch (knit every row). The whole jacket is knitted in it. 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 8.5 to 15 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.
