When you purchase a hand knitted, custom designed sweater, you want to make
sure it fits properly. The following
information should be helpful. First, take a garment that fits,
spread it out on a table in front of you and measure it. Then compare the
measurements to the information listed below.
Please feel free to ask for
adjustments. For instance, if you are tall, you
might want to have a sweater knitted for you that has three inches extra
length in the body and sleeves. If you are short, you can have shorter
sleeves and body. If you could use a little extra room across your
middle, please take a look at the Comfort Fit
Vest, a classic sweater vest which utilizes a clever knitting technique
allowing for extra width and length across the stomach area of a gentlemen's
vest or long sleeve sweater.
As we all know, cotton sweaters do shrink when they are washed and
dried the first time. I will add enough extra length to the body
and sleeves of your new hand knitted sweater to compensate for shrinkage. For
instance, if you order a custom designed sweater that is 23 inches long, when I
knit your sweater, I will make sure it is longer than 23 inches, to compensate
for shrinkage.
All custom knitted sweaters will have standard set-in sleeves, unless you
tell me otherwise. This is the usual type of sleeve found on most
garments. Click
here to look at the sleeve styles, then click "back" on your

- To measure width: measure straight across the chest, from
one side to the other, below the sleeves.
- To measure length: measure straight down from the
shoulder (close to the neckline) to the bottom edge.
- To measure sleeve length: measure from the edge of the
sleeve where it joins the shoulder, down to the wrist, along the top edge of
the sleeve (not the bottom, underarm edge of the sleeve, which is shorter
than the top edge). Include the cuff in your measurement.

Please note that sweaters size x-large, xx-large (and larger) are
knitted with side panels and seamed together, due to the width of my home knitting
machine, which is not as wide as an industrial machine. Click
here to see a photo and read more about this.

Hats ($27.00 any size) are sized to correspond to the sweater size, unless you tell me
