Gauge
15 sts x 17 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm / 4” x 4” in stockinette stitch on 7 mm needles, worked in the round, blocked.
13 sts x 18 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm / 4” x 4” in stockinette stitch on 7 mm needles, worked flat, blocked.

The fabric created using this needle/yarn combo (particularly the Dashing Sassy yarn) will be quite stretchy, especially during wet blocking. Keep this in mind when working up your gauge swatch.

Sizing
This design has 3 main components: sleeve width, sleeve length, and back width. To account for the variation between these measurements that can exist within each size, the instructions are written so you can choose to follow different size instructions for different sections of the pattern.
