Before you begin
Make a washed or blocked swatch and check both gauge and fabric before starting. Buy complete balls, allowing extra yarn for swatching, changes to length or fit, and differences in gauge. The metre figures are based on the designer’s quantities, rather than exact measured consumption.
Frequently asked questions
Does Amy’s length measurement include the turtleneck?
No. The listed length is measured at mid-back, excluding the turtleneck, which is picked up and knitted at the end.
Should every Amy size have 20 cm of ease?
No. The smaller sizes have approximately 20 cm of positive ease, with gradually less in the larger sizes. Compare your chest measurement with the finished sweater measurements rather than adding 20 cm automatically.
