In almost 60 years of knitting I have finally decided to try a top down pattern and fell in love with this design. I bought my DK yarn and, because I couldnt get 3.5mm circular needles I am using 4mm instead. I thought that the larger needles would give me a bit more ease. I am knitting size M which is for a 38" bust ( I am a 36") and I have followed the pattern exactly but it looks as though it is going to end up far too small. Has anyone found the same thing? I really live the pattern and would like to make one to fit me. What would it turn out like if I use an aran weight yarn and 5mm needles (and perhaps knit to the large)? Would love to hear some comments.
