SIZE GUIDE
The cables may feel quite dense while knitting, but they open up
nicely after washing and blocking, giving a more even appearance.
The sweater may therefore seem small during the process, but will
achieve the correct fit after washing and blocking—so do not skip this step! You can choose how loose or fitted you want it depending on the size you select. Recommended ease is 10–20 cm. For a more oversized fit, go up a size, and vice versa for a more fitted sweater.
