  1. Good evening ! I like f much this tunic, but I do not have a thread that lends itself to knitting needles 10 , but a little thinner and I try to adapt the model to my thread. I made a sample on knitting needles 7 and resulted 8 cm from 10 stitches. Then I got lost in the calculations. Normally I am measure L and, according to the scheme, should I result at the lap 79 CM, which is huge! I measured my longest and widest tunic (that gets me above my knee, almost like a dress) and measures 63 CM. The question I am asking you is related to dimensions, if they are correctly written in the sketch. According to my reckonings I should mount 99 eyes. And even if I get “mute” at measure M, I still find huge foothills when I measure with an inch of tailoring. Thank you !

  2. And tied to the collar, in the picture you can see a transition from double elastic to simple elastic about which does not write anything in explanations. I guess there is a sudden drop, in the sense that the eyes are reduced by half?

  3. Hi Diana!
    Regarding the collar, is a drop in text. I talk to the site administrator and come back with a text review.
    The measures of the tunic are correct, much depends on the thread. You can adjust the data in the article by your size, it's not that complicated.
    Bafta!

  4. Thanks! I have one more question: to a leaf is inumulteste 4 times in the middle and subtracted all 4 times on the sides, but at the top it decreases once again, from the diagram it appears that from 3 eyes there remains one (so come another 2 lows besides the 8 already low in the sides), from the legend it appears that it subtracts only one from 3. How is it correct? I believe that out of 3 there remains one, to come out the tip of the leaf beautifully. Hence 5 leaves X 2 eyes dropped at each tip => 10 eyes less in the total knitwear.

  5. Hi Diana!
    Spotting sign 2 stitches together back and not 3 stitches together back.
    So after knitting leaves you will have 5 stitches less.
