   Is five Como’s too many? I’ve made them in plain merino, striped merino and used up merino offcuts to make a couple of multi-coloured Como’s. Yes the pattern is generous but for winter I’ve found this cardi to be very comfortable to wear over winter clothes

   I love this style and although the constructions are a bit confusing I found a blog sewalong which made it much easier to figure out. I found the body of the garment a bit wide so for the second one I made the body a bit narrower and the sleeves a bit wider. Perfect for mid weight knits.

   It sews up quite easily but it also sews up very large. According to the size chart, I should be a size 20, but I used a size 18, which was so big that the arm seams came to my elbows, and the arms were 8 inches too long.
   Also the material requirements are short by about a metre.

Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.

1. When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
2. Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
3. When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
4. You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:

A. Shoulder Breadth

Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.

B. Upper Arm Girth

This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.

C. Bust

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.

D. Waist

This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.

E. Hip

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
