    *I recommend winding up the cones into skeins by hand or with a yarnwinder, so that you can use the strand from outside and inside the skeins simultaneously. 

     

    Size guide

    The Sharpei Sweater is meant to have an oversize fit with dropped shoulders and should have a 'postive ease' of approx. 20-30 cm // 8-12 inches.

    If your bust circumference measures approx. 75-85 (86-98) 100-110 (115-125) 130-140 
    cm // 29½-33½ (33¾-38¾) 39½-43¼ (45¼-49¼) 51¼-55 inches you should knit a size 1 (2) 3 (4) 5


    Because of the technique used, the sweater will not have much give, length wise, but it will grow in width. Keep this in mind when choosing a size and when deciding how long you want to knit the body. 

    Example: The model shown in the picture has a bust circumference of 89 cm // 35 inches, measures 159 cm tall // 5 ft 3 inches in height, and is wearing a size 2. The sweater worn therefore has a 29 cm // 11½ inch positive ease.

    The length of the sleeves and body can be altered - if you wish to make them longer than instructed in the pattern, be mindful to buy enough extra yarn since the plissé structure calls for more yarn than a normal sweater.
