Swatching Lemon Spritz

Size #2 needles

Pattern size 61

My bust: 44

Pattern gauge: 22

My gauge: 28

With your gauge, your sweater will be about 13.07 inches smaller than the pattern (47.93 inches). This gives you 3.93 inches of positive ease. If that's not close enough to what you want, try using a larger needle to get gauge, or plan to knit a larger size of the pattern.

Size #3 needles

Pattern size 56

My bust: 44

Pattern gauge: 22

My gauge: 26

With your gauge, your sweater will be about 8.62 inches smaller than the pattern (47.38 inches). This gives you 3.38 inches of positive ease. If that's not close enough to what you want, try using a larger needle to get gauge, or plan to knit a larger size of the pattern.
