Hi, I'm Julie from Cocoknits
And I'm going to talk to you in this video about tweaking the size a little bit on the patterns in the Cocoknits Sweater Workshop
There is four inches in between each bust size so often times
many people will fall in between two sizes.
For instance, I'm gonna use Emma version C as an example
the smallest bust size is 35
the next size up is 39
so say you fall in between you want more of a 36 inch bust
This is really easy to do by tweaking the gauge a little bit
So that's what I'm going to talk to you about rather than just
Trying a smaller
Slightly smaller gauge and casting on and doing it
you can actually do a little bit of math to figure out exactly how you'd need to tweak it
Usually what you can do is for instance if you wanted something in between the small and the medium
Knit the medium sweater, but knit it with a 1 needle size down slightly smaller gauge
And you'll come out with the bust size that you want
So I'm going to show you how to do this and we're gonna get started looking in the book at the pattern
Alright, so we have decided that
we want a 36 inch bust
This is Emma version C
and in the book you can see it goes from a 35 inch bust to a 39 inch bust
and you don't want either of those you want the 36
so we want a 36 inch bust
and then we're gonna go
Over to the part of the pattern this is for me for the version C is on page 72
that talks about
Again, you've finished
Your entire seamless yoke, you've taken your sleeve stitches off
You've cast on the stitches at the underarm
And this is where you're going to get that number that you need that has the full amount of stitches on
This is the fullest part of the bust so those numbers right at the top of the page
50 56 62 68 74 80 back stitches
For the medium we're right in between two sizes
it's 56 stitches
and that's for half of the 36 inches. That's just for the 18 inches of the back 18 for the front
so you're gonna take
56 for the medium
and divide it by the bust – the half bust measurement that you want which is 18 inches
56 divided by 18 equals 3.11
and over a four inch swatch
Which is usually what you do you multiply times four
that means that rather than twelve stitches in three inches you need 12.44
so you can see if you just tighten up your gauge a little bit
It's going to give you the bust measurement you want
so rather than twelve stitches you can just go down maybe a needle size
aim for twelve and a half stitches per 4 inches
and you will shrink the whole sweater proportionally down to a size
That's just a little bit more what you want
So that is how you can modify the fit just a little bit by tweaking your gauge
We modified it from doing a medium
Down to somewhere in between the small and the medium you can do this for any of the sizes
just figure out the bust measurement you want
and you tweak your gauge to get that measurement if you're in between sizes
so hope that helps, and I hope you enjoy the patterns
