Metres converted from the designer’s stated quantities using Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt: 91 m per 50 g. Allow for swatching and any added length.
Wash and block your swatch before measuring. Match both stitch and row gauge in the stated stitch pattern; adjust needle size as needed and check the fabric’s drape.
Frequently asked questions
Why do two neighbouring sizes have the same chest width?
The listed chest measurements repeat in pairs, while the lengths and some yarn quantities differ. Use the row for the full size you plan to knit.
Can I measure the swatch in plain stocking stitch?
Use the texture pattern after washing and blocking. The specified 20 stitches × 28 rows relates to that fabric, not plain stocking stitch.
