BEFORE YOU BEGIN
It is vitally important to check your tension (gauge) before starting as working to the wrong tension (gauge) will mean your item will not be the size shown and could result in yarn being leftover, or more yarn is required. Before beginning, knit a tension (gauge) swatch at least 12 cm square and measure your tension (gauge). If there are more sts and rows than stated, try again using thicker needles. If there are fewer sts and rows than stated, try again using thinner needles. The size guide is a wide but short sweater with an oversize fit. Calculate a movement space of approx. 20-25 cm measured around the chest.
