Notes

Testing the Firth Sweater for Rebecca Clow. This sweater comes in both fingering and DK weight. It also has options for no bust shaping, D-cup shaping, and F-cup shaping. You have to love all of the options that Rebecca consistently provides.

I am knitting the size 1 with D-cup shaping using DK weight yarn. Size 1 has a finished check measurement of 30.5” (without the bust shaping). My full bust measures 30”. The D-cup shaping adds 2” at the full bust. She recommends about 2” of positive ease so this should work perfectly for my small shoulders and larger bust.

Gauge:
22 stitches and 28 rows per 10 cm/4 inches in stockinette and
21 stitches and 28 rows per 10 cm/4 inches in 2x2 ribbing

This is such a fun and easy knit. I love the ribbing details and the bust darts are just absolutely perfect. green_heart
