2” of ease included at bust. This style based on two colors, with the color change at the bust, was very popular in the early 1900’s. I have tried to keep the pattern simple, so it’s an ideal project for those just starting out on Fair Isle. If you chagne the color combinations, I’ve found that one bright and one pale works best.
