Sizes
1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) (10, 11, 12, 13)
Finished Measurements
33 (37 1⁄4, 41 1⁄2, 45 3⁄4, 49 3⁄4) (54, 58 1⁄4, 62 1⁄2, 66 3⁄4) (71, 75, 79 1⁄4, 83 1⁄2)” / 84 (94.5, 105.5, 116, 126.5) (137, 148, 159, 169.5) (180.5, 190.5, 201.5, 212) cm bust circumference, after blocking (measured below beginning of armhole shaping)
Sample shown is Size 4 on 44” / 112 cm bust, for 1 3⁄4” / 4.5 cm positive ease. Recommended ease: 1-4” / 2.5-10 cm positive ease at bust, but since ease is a very personal thing this is up to knitter’s preference. When in doubt for picking your size, check the schematic and choose the size that best fits your upper arm circumference.
Yarn
Cotton Comfort by Green Mountain Spinnery (80% wool, 20% cotton; 180 yds 165 m / 2 oz 57 g): 5 (6, 6, 7, 7) (8, 8, 9, 10) (10, 11, 11, 12) skeins in Pine
Or 805 (910, 1015, 1120, 1215) (1320, 1425, 1530, 1635) (1735, 1835, 1940, 2045) yds / 735 (830, 930, 1025, 1110) (1205, 1305, 1400, 1495) (1585, 1680, 1775, 1870) m woolen-spun DK weight yarn
Note: This is a loose gauge for this weight of yarn because the woolen-spun construction blooms, knitting together (forgive the pun) during blocking to create a cohesive fabric at this gauge. If substituting a worsted-spun yarn with less bloom during blocking and you’d like a similarly opaque fabric as the sample, consider using a worsted weight yarn instead.
