Frequently asked questions
Does every size have 15–20 cm of ease?
No. The intended ease reduces in the larger sizes. Compare your bust with the finished chest in your row rather than adding a fixed amount to every size.
What should I plan for the front fastening?
The pattern uses a double-knitted front placket and four buttons, each 18–20 mm in diameter. Buttons are purchased separately.
