Achieve a gauge of 18 sts x 18 rows (4 x 4 in - 10 x 10 cm) using the yoss blo stitch. Instructions for this technique are on page 6.

The design has approximately 2 in [5 cm] of positive ease. For instance, if your bust circumference is 36 in [96 cm], a size M sweater, with a 38 in [101 cm] circumference, will provide a comfortable fit.
