Notes

XS, I have a full bust of 30” and waist of 25”. 5’6” tall.

Gauge with US 7 and ribbing with US 5.

No bust darts because there is so much positive ease in the top. I added in the waist shaping- otherwise it would be so huge on me.

I followed the directions to add the waist shaping but added two extra decrease sets and knit the body to 10” before the ribbing.

I used US 3 needles for icord. Picked up every stitch along the back neck (to avoid puckering) and every other stitch along the the v neck.

Following the fitted sleeve option and shortened them to about 18” total including ribbing.

Overall, I’m slightly disappointed in the finished product. There is just too much positive ease under the arms (9”). It is disappointing when a pattern is “size inclusive” but only on the large size of the scale. It looks like I have strange wings between my chest and arms because there is so much positive ease. No one with a 28-30” chest can wear the XS and have it fit as intended. I so wish there had been a smaller size option. pensive
