Two pattern files are now available; choose the version that works best for you: One is of the original pattern, the second is an additional alternate for which the upper three sizes are slightly smaller, but in this version, the pattern meets up satisfyingly at the shoulders for all five sizes, whereas in the original, the pattern meets up for the first two sizes, but has the pattern offset at the shoulders for the upper three sizes. Both versions now include text version of charts. Select which file works best for you, or download both.  Alternate version sizes are:
