Intended to fit with approximately 7.75-8 in / 19.5-20 cm of positive ease. Sleeves are intended to fit with 0-1 in / 0-2.5 cm of positive ease. If between sizes, I recommend going up a size. Please review the upper sleeve circumference measurement (J) in the Schematic at the bottom left to help determine your size. For less/greater ease in the bicep area, please go down/up a needle size for the sleeves. You may also wish to further space out the sleeve decrease rounds.
See Schematic photo above for more sizing info.

YARN
The pattern uses a light fingering weight yarn and mohair yarn, but any combination of fingering and lace weight yarn can be used so long as gauge is met. For the bulk of the pattern, the fingering and mohair are held together, and a DK weight yarn can be substituted for those portions. If omitting the lace panel, a DK weight yarn can be used throughout.
