Please choose a size 14-24 cm/ 5.5-9.5 in larger than your actualchestcircumference. For the best results, please view the table and schematic (pages 6 and 7) to review the measurements at other body points.

The provided meterages/ yardages (yds approx. due to rounding) already include a safety margin. However, please note that your individual yarn consumption may vary based on your yarn, gauge, size, and the desired sleeve/body length. It is advisable to get a little more than you think you’ll need.

The meterages listed for each colour separately are higher because I have added a larger safety margin for using multiple colours as opposed to just one. The reason for this is that you may use more or less of each colour depending on their order in the project.
