SIZING + YARDAGE
Asu is designed to have approximately 6 – 8” / 15 – 20cm positive ease, meaning it is meant to measure 6 – 8” / 15.25 – 20cm more than your chest measurement at its widest. Size up or down for a tighter or looser fit.
To increase the length of your garment, CO additional stitches when knitting the torso, using the gauge as a guide for desired total length (e.g. to add +2” / +5cm, CO +13 sts). Be aware that adding length will increase your total yardage and materials needed.
