Before you cast on

Swatch flat, then block hard. The twists pull in roughly 8% more than plain stockinette, and the yoke depth is calculated on blocked gauge.

Place a marker at the start of every twelve-stitch repeat — six markers for a 34" bust.

Reading the chart

Every square is one stitch as it appears on the right side of the fabric. In the round, all rows are right-side rows: read all of them right to left.

Worked flat, even rows are wrong-side rows — their numbers sit on the left, and you read them left to right.

Sizing the yoke

The panel repeats 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 times around for finished busts of 81 / 94 / 107 / 120 / 133 cm.

Rows 13 and 23 carry the bobbles. If you would rather skip them, substitute a plain knit — stitch counts are unaffected.
