If you are between sizes, I recommend sizing up, because stranded colorwork creates fabric with significantly less give than other types of knitted fabric (stockinette, garter, etc.). *In the photos, Jaq (they/them) is wearing is size 8 (64”/160cm) with 8"/20cm of positive ease at the bust and 3”/7.5cm at the bicep. Please note that the widest part of the sleeve will hit the bicep at a lower point in the larger sizes, so there may appear to be slightly more ease at the bicep in the larger sizes than indicated by measurements.* <hr> . ݁₊ ⊹ ₊ ݁. <big><big>GAUGE, NEEDLES, NOTIONS</big></big> **Gauge:** 22 sts and 30 rows over 4”/10cm in stockinette after blocking **Recommended needles:** US 5 (3.75mm) 40"/100cm circular **Notions:** stitch markers, locking stitch markers, darning needle <hr> . ݁₊ ⊹ ₊ ݁. <big><big>YARN</big></big> GRIDDY was designed in Purl Soho Cattail Silk, a fingering weight 100% silk yarn that blooms beautifully when washed, has great drape, and doesn’t curl on unfinished stockinette edges.
