THE ALLOWANCE
The allowance at each line is 5 mm (^ in) and
there is a grading line on each side of the main
front and back pieces. This means that the total
grading allowance per size is 2.5 cm (1 in). There
are also grading lines on each sleeve, so that
they can be adjusted to fit the armhole once the
front and back have been graded.
You will need to check the chest and waist
measurements you require against the chart of
sizes which is given on page 7. If you do not need
to adjust the pattern by 2.5 cm (1 in), but only 1 cm
(1^ in), then adjust each grading line by only 3 mm
(Ys in) per line.
See opposite for the method of grading to a
larger or smaller size.
