We like to work one that’s at least 6\" x 6\". And don’t skip the wet block and steam steps. Beyond checking your stitch and row gauge, you will want to look critically at the resulting fabric. Your swatch will tell you if you’ve got a nice fabric that has both drape and body.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned with versatility in mind, it’s well suited to all body types. Several of our staff looked great in all five sizes, from slightly fitted to very oversized; all of us looked good in at least two sizes! So instead of thinking in terms of a specific size, think about the amount of ease you want (the difference between your actual bust measurement and the actual sweater measurement).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe suggest you try on sweaters of different length to see what works for you, and then measure the length from your high shoulder (where the shoulder meets the neck) to hem and use this as your template. After you decide on the size, just personalize the sleeve length from the varying degrees of shoulder drop (the pattern tells you how).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA couple of easy modifications will result in a sweater that’s great for those of us who run warm. The neckline is designed so that the collar can be tucked in and sewn down, sitting a flattering distance away from the neck. And sleeve length can be customized to end above the wrist, making for a cooler sweater by keeping the wrist pulse points uncovered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Churchmouse Yarns","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47573751726334,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/9137\/7059\/files\/better-than-basic-pullover-printed-knitting-pattern-7261643.jpg?v=1764456248","url":"https:\/\/www.shophomesewn.sbs\/products\/better-than-basic-pullover-printed-knitting-pattern","provider":"homesewn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
