Pick a size with 7-15cm (2-6 ‘‘) positive ease

You can still modify to make it bigger or smaller, to add a waist shaping or whatever your heart desire. so if your size is normally around 2xl, you can still begin with size 5 and make it perfect for you. I just couldn’t find the testers for this size, so I had to eliminate the size 6.

Yarn
original yarn : como cashmere 120/25g and permia 300m/25g both by lamina yarns, holding both yarns together throughout.

This yarn combination will give you light, but warm results and so soft to your skin, that you don’t want put it away.

you can also use Cardiff cashmere with other sense by Ito yarn to get a similar quality.

otherwise you can also use any other yarn which meets the gauge. :slightly_smiling_face:
