Intended to be worn with 0-4” (0-10 cm) of positive ease. You may find that this amount of suggested ease gives you multiple size options; choose the smaller size for less ease and the larger for more. When in doubt, you can also compare the armhole depth in the schematic to your own and use that to help you narrow down your choice.

Umbel is knit in the round from the bottom up, and then split at the underarm to work the back and fronts
separately. After the armhole depth is complete, short rows are worked to shape the shoulders. The shoulders
are then seamed. Bands are picked up and knit in rib along the front neck shaping, and finally, a collar is
picked up and knit from these bands and the neck edge.
