Choose Your Perfect Sweater Size
Stop guessing which sweater size to cast on.
Have you ever looked at a sweater pattern, found your bust measurement on the size chart, and wondered... "But is that actually the size I should make?"
Choose Your Perfect Sweater Size is a simple 13-page guide designed to help you confidently choose a better starting size for your next sweater.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
- Take your upper bust and full bust measurements
- Understand positive, zero, and negative ease
- Use your upper bust as a helpful starting point for sizing
- Read a pattern's finished garment measurements
- Calculate how much ease each size will actually give you at your full bust
- Compare multiple sizes instead of automatically choosing from the size chart
- Consider the designer's intended fit and your own fit preferences
- Recognize when you may need to modify your sweater rather than simply size up
You'll also get a size comparison worksheet, worked example, and before-you-cast-on-checklist so you can use what you've learned with your own sweater pattern.
Perfect for: knitters who are ready to stop blindly following the size chart and start making more informed sweater-sizing decisions.
