Janine I love your Ranunculus, I have the pattern and yarn but am confused about sizing. All the ones I’ve seen are big and drapy but I’m cute (old) and cuddly (short and chunky 😂😂) so don’t want a big, flowy size. Yours is just how I want mine so how much ease did you allow ❤
Hi Gillian. I knit a size 4 but my gauge was a bit tighter than the pattern called for so I knit the size 4 knowing I wouldn't have as much ease as the pattern said. I'll go and measure the ease on the sweater around the bust and let you know. I'm a 42" bust. Jx
I have tried the R 3 times. Did you do a gauge watch before you started and then checked what size. People keep saying not swatch and there’s turned out fine. Just confirmation did you swatch before you started. Thank you for answering my question. I am so confused when I try it on after I make the patterns it is perfect then I am lost and stop. Help Alberta Canada ❤
Oh I'm so sorry to hear it's been a challenge to knit this lovely sweater. I absolutely did a gauge swatch and, using the yarns I loved, found my gauge was a bit tighter than the pattern suggested. I decided to make size 4 in the pattern knowing with my tighter gauge would give less positive ease (which was fine - I preferred less ease). I have a 42" bust. I also made the body of the sweater a little longer than the pattern specified. I'm tall and have a long waist and arms. I made the pattern using the narrow neck version and held a fingering weight yarn together with a lace weight fluffy alpaca. I would definitely recommend you do a gauge swatch. Hope that helps and good luck!
