Frequently asked questions
Does this have the same fit as the V-neck version?
No. The round-neck size S measures 112 cm around, giving 22 cm ease on a 90 cm bust. The separate V-neck size S is 108 cm. Use this pattern’s own table.
How are the armholes finished?
Pick up stitches for the ribbed armhole edges after the body is complete. The round-neck design includes decreases in those edges.
