Frequently asked questions
Why do sizes S and M both have a 100 cm finished bust?
Those are the designer’s stated measurements. Their lengths differ: 56 cm for S and 59 cm for M. Compare both chest and length when choosing.
Should I measure the gauge in plain stocking stitch?
Use the lace pattern. The stated 22 stitches × 32 rows per 10 × 10 cm are measured in lace on 3.5 mm needles; a stocking-stitch swatch is not the same check.
Is Rigmor Tee worked from the neck down?
It is worked from the bottom up, with raglan decreases shaping the yoke. The ribbed neckline is picked up and worked at the end.
