Lovely pattern. I still can’t find the chart
Hello Sherry! Charts are available for logged-in Gold Members at the bottom of the pattern and appear as a blue button to click and download. – Nicola, Editor
The sizing in the pattern is for Small, Medium, Medium/Large, Large, 1X, 2X but the sizing on the sleeve chart is for Extra Small, Small, Medium, Large, 1X, 2X – I’m guessing that they line up, but you may want to adjust one or the other 🙂
Also, does the schematic include the length of the ribbing? My arm is easily 20″ from armpit to cuff and I’m not that big!
Thanks!
