YARN, GAUGE, SIZE AND MACHINE This design is exclusively for bulky machines. Use .75 softball cotton. For this design, we knit it very loosely using stitch size 10 on most machines. After washing and drying and when in wear the gauge is 4 stitches/4.28 rows/inch in the basket weave fabric. “In wear” gauge may differ from relaxed gauge while laying flat because the weight of the fabric alters the row gauge. Finished bust/hip circumferences are 3436, 38, 40, 42, 44,46, 48, 50, 52, all sizes are 27.5” long. Add or subtract rows to alter length to taste.
