Notes

23-01-2024

Swatch my gauge;
With 5 mm needles provided by the pattern I have almost 19 sts and 24 rows, but the work seems too soft and loose.
I then went down to the 4.5 mm needle. My gauge is 18 sts and 24 rows, But the more compact work, I like it the most.
In any case, with perfect gauge I would have a finished bust of 150 cm, exactly 50 cm more than my current bust. If I use 4.5 mm needles I get a bust circumference of about 142 cm, 42 cm of positive ease.
I’d say better!
