I am excited to knit The Blazer but want to be sure I understand the sizing so it fits how I want it to. My bust(a) measures 37in and so with 4-6in ease I was looking for a chest measurement of 41-43in. Looking at the chart, I assumed a size 3 would be the correct choice. But my shoulders(b) measure 18in across to the point of the shoulder and 14in to the hollow at the end of my clavicle. Please advise what size you think best. This is my first attempt at a fitted garment so I am probably overthinking it!

Hello all! Have any of you tried adding bust darts to your knits? If so, do you have any tips or tricks on adding them to patterns you’re following? I hear about bust darts and how they can help tailor your knits, especially knitting in the round. Thank you!

Blazer sizing, can anyone help. Size 1 - cast on 26 stitches Size 2 - cast on 30 stitches Size 3 - cast on 26 stitches Is there an error in the pattern ?

Help. (Deamweft Sweater...just completed last row of back shoulder increases) What would you recommend to get the correct stitch counts at this point without ripping back.... that might not look way obvious.... or make it wonky. I calculated stitch counts of the increase rows to be able to tell if I'm still on track. Increasing 8 stitches each repeat for the 7 repeats in the back I should have 88 stitches. I actually have only 84. It appears there are the correct number of increased lace 'holes'. The edge stitches seem fine. I don't find anything unraveling. I am really challenged in keeping my attention here. (Its not the pattern...it's my toddler brain) And I have ripped back so many times I've lost count... but... I really want this finished object. I have a long way to go and I'm willing to take it slow...but if I have to rip back again 💔 😪 I'm afraid I will have to give up.

Hello everyone! I hope you’re all having a magical day. I’m new to the concept of assigned pooling yarn, and I would love to see how you all utilize this type of yarn in your sweaters or knitted tops. I’ve been knitting for about two years now, although I’ve been crocheting for 12 years. As I’ve continued my knitting journey, I’ve realized that I really enjoy set in sleeve constructions. I also appreciate knitted garments worked flat and seamed together, as well as designs that are partially knit flat and partially in the round. I have an hourglass figure with broader shoulders, a fuller bust, and wider hips, and I’ve noticed that certain construction styles are much more complementary to my body shape than others. Because of this, I’m especially interested in seeing how different knitters incorporate assigned pooling yarn into garments with various construction methods. I’m currently working on the Elan Sweater, which I absolutely adore so far! 🌻🪻🌷 Thank you all for sharing your knowledge, experiences, and inspiration! - Adriana Esquer (Houston, Texas)
