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

Yarn weight The original: Fingering (4-ply), at about 32 sts and 40 rows to 4 in (10 cm) over the grid pattern. For the closest match to the photo, use a yarn that knits to this gauge. Worsted (Aran) and thicker yarns aren't offered: the body and full sleeves are gathered into a narrow band and cuffs, and thick yarn would bunch up there.

Your gauge

This one needs a swatch. Please measure your gauge over the grid pattern, not plain stockinette. The pattern shows you how to knit a swatch of the grid; use the needles you plan to knit with. 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 20.5 to 34 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.
