Infinity Rib
Infinity Rib is intended to be fitted and is therefore designed with negative ease. The allover rib pattern creates an elastic fabric that will stretch to give a good fit. The length of the body will be shorter when worn compared to measurements taken flat. To choose the correct size, look at the ‘to fit chest circumference’ measurements on the previous page. If your actual chest circumference is, say, 98 cm 38½”, you should choose to knit a size M in order to achieve the intended fit.
Sizes: XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL)
Finished measurements: Chest circumference: approx. 76 (82, 87, 93, 108, 116, 123, 131) cm 30 (32¼, 34¼, 36½, 42½, 45¾, 48½, 51½)” to fit chest circumference 76-83 (84-91, 92-99, 100-107, 108-116, 117-127, 128-139, 140-149) cm 30-32¾ (33-35¾, 36¼-39, 39¼-42¼, 42½-45¾, 46-50, 50½-54¾, 55-58¾)”;
Sleeve length from underarm to edge: 43 (45, 47, 47, 47, 48, 48, 48) cm 17 (17¾, 18½, 18½, 18½, 19, 19, 19)”; Length from shoulder to edge: approx. 51 (53, 55, 58, 62, 66, 70, 74) cm 20 (20¾, 21¾, 22¾, 24½, 26, 27½, 29¼)”. Note: The fabric is very elastic due to the ribbing and will stretch to fit measurements listed.
