Alternative yarn qualities

Triple Tynn Line, or one strand of Tynn Line and one strand of Line from Sandnes Garn. Or combine it with a strand of thin silk mohair with yarn that gives a knitting tension of 20 or 22 stitches per 10 cm, such as Doble Sunday. Feel free to knit a sample before you start, to check that the knitting tension is correct. Note that the knitting tension is stated after the dress has been rinsed.

Size guide

Chest measurement of approximately (75 - 80) 80 - 85 (85 - 90) 90 - 95 (95 - 100) 100 - 110 (110 - 120) 120 - 130 cm corresponds to size (XXS) XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL. The dress has a positive ease of approx. 0 - 15 cm. I measure 93 cm in width and have knitted a size S. Measure yourself before you start knitting. If you knit in the original yarn, you will experience that the yarn gives with use, approx. 6 cm in width and approx. 1 - 2 cm in length. When the dress is freshly washed, it will return to the measurements stated. If you are in doubt about two sizes, I recommend that you go down one size. The sizes correspond to regular European sizes.
