We're looking for a few testers for each size who can complete this project by the 7th of April, 2024.

Difficulty: Intermediate. The ability to read cable charts is required.

Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

Designed to be worn with 10-15 cm / 4-6” positive ease around the chest. 

To choose the most appropriate size, measure the wearer's chest and add the preferred ease. Or measure the circumference of an already-owned sweater that fits well. Then find the closest finished chest circumference.
