Skill Levels
WaShIng InSTRUCTIonS: Bernat® Softee ChunkyMachine wash. Machine dry .Machine Wash: Wash the item, preferably on its own, in water (not exceeding40°C / 104°F) at permanent press setting. Softener may be added to the finalrinse. Do not use bleach. Do not dry-clean.Machine Dry: Tumble dry at low heat, at delicate setting. Do not iron or press.
gaUgE: For best results, be sure to use the yarn recommended in the pattern,and purchase enough of one dye lot to complete your project. It is a good idea toretain ball bands in case of inquiry. Before you begin to knit, check your gauge bymaking a test swatch and adjusting your needle, if necessary, to obtain the gaugequoted in the pattern. Inaccurate gauge results in an item too large or too small.Even a variation of half a stitch makes an obvious difference in the finished size.
DETERMInIng yoUR SIZEBegin with your bust/chest measurement. Compareyour measurement to the ‘To fit bust measurement’ sizeline in your pattern and choose the closest match.
Bust/Chest Measurement (a)Using a tape measure, measure around the fullest partof your bust or chest keeping the tape measure straightacross your back.
hip Measurement (B)Measure around the fullest section which is generally 9 to 10 inches [23 to 25.5 cm] below the waistline.
Wrist to Underarm (C)Measure from the wrist along the inside of your arm to approximately 1 inch [2.5 cm]from your underarm crease. This is the measurement for a set-in sleeve.
