XS (S, M, L, 1X){2X, 3X, 4X, 5X} to fit:
28-30 (32-34, 36-38, 40-42, 44-46){48-50, 52-54, 56-58, 60-62}”71-76 (81-86, 91.5-96.5, 101.5-106.5, 111.5-117){122-127, 132-137, 142-147, 152-158}cm
Actual finished garment measurement at bust
33.5 (37.5, 41.5, 45.5, 49.5){53.5, 57.5, 61.5, 65.5}“
85 (95.5, 105.5, 115.5, 125.5){136, 146, 156, 166.5}cm
Choosing a size:
For an oversized fit, choose a size with 3.5-5.5”/9-14cm of positive ease by adding 3.5-5.5”/9-14cm to your full bust measurement. Choose the actual finished garment measurement closest to this number.
For a less oversized but still relaxed fit, size down one size from the recommended ease.
For a more fitted sweater, size down two sizes from the recommended ease. The elongated raglan depth of the design provides plenty of room to size down comfortably from the recommended ease.
Suggested Needles:
Main needle (body & sleeves): US 7 – 4.5 mm 24-40” circular needles to work body, plus preferred needles for small circumference knitting if not using magic loop.
Ribbing needle (neck, hem, cuff): US 6 – 4.00 mm 24-40” circular needles, plus preferred needles for small circumference knitting if not using magic loop
Gauge:
20 sts & 26 rows per 4x4” in stockinette (in the round & flat), blocked & unstretched
Suggested Yarn:
I recommend using any yarn or combination of yarns with which you can achieve gauge. This could mean fingering held with mohair (used in the sample,) fingering held double, DK weight held single, or even fingering weight held single for a loose & airy fabric.
I knit my second sample in 100% silk fingering weight, and it drapes beautifully and is perfect for summer.
I encourage you as always to experiment with different fiber weights and needle size combinations for a unique garment that’s all your own!
