I have 2 patterns that I'm interested in knitting with negative ease, since I'd like them to end up being form fitting.
The first pattern says that it is worked with "5 inches of negative ease." How does this relate to the finished sizes that are listed?
If one of the finished sizes is 36"-38", does that mean I have to work through the pattern for the size 30"-32" (36-5 = 31) ?
The second pattern actually tells you to "allow a negative ease of 2-3 inches at the bust for a close fit." How do I do that? Pick the instructions that are [my physical size] - [2-3 inches] ?
