Loyal
Loyal is a lace and cabled ruana — a versatile piece that can be worn as a shawl, vest, or top! The elegant motif is meditative to knit in its simple repetition. Directions are included for side-button, center-button, and side-seaming options.
SIZING

Recommended fit is 3-10”/ 7.5-25cm of positive ease at bust. To determine size, measure your full bust, then divide the number in half. Choose the garment width that is 1.5-5”/ 4-12.5cm larger than that number, or the width that, doubled, will give you the amount of ease you prefer.
Sample is size 2 on 38” bust with 9” of positive ease when worn with side buttons.
