Notions


Gauge (see below)

Sizes: 32 (34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64) in/ 80 (85, 90, 95, 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 150, 155, 160) cm bust

Positive ease is built into the pattern. Choose the size closest to your actual bust circumference – the ease is already included for a comfortable fit.

What’s my gauge?

Fiadh is designed for a roomy fit that equals anywhere from 2-6 inches larger than your actual bust circumference (give or take), so begin by choosing the size that directly matches your actual bust circumference. Then check the finished measurements according to your gauge to choose the size with the finished fit that gives you about 4 in/10 cm positive ease (give or take – this is a cardigan and it’s meant to be roomy, so don’t panic if it varies a little in either direction).

NOTE: FINISHED MEASUREMENTS are for cardigan from edge to edge of front bands, not closed. Estimate 2.75 in/6.875 cm smaller circumference at bust when buttoned or closed with a pin.
