A Word (or two) about Fit:

I generally like positive ease, and many of my current designs are intended to fit somewhat loosely. It has become apparent to me that I may be in the minority in this regard - we seem to be in an era of ‘fitted’ knits, which in part I believe is a reaction to wanting to avoid repeating some of the ill-fitting knits of the past. Fair enough :) However, when I look at today’s fashions, I see a lot of loose fitting pieces, and personally find that a flattering fit does not need to equate to form fitting. The nature of the yarn also has to work, and a fabric with a little drape tends to work best and avoids bulkiness when there is some positive ease. Of course the ideal amount of ease varies by design as well.

I only mention these things so you can choose the design, size and yarn for the best results to suit your personal preferences. I suggest taking a careful look at the measurements provided on the schematic diagrams (provided in every pattern), and compare them to the measurements of items of clothing you own, in order to decide which size will fit you the way you would like best.

Happy knitting!
