Swatching...
Cotton Fleece in Plum Patina. This swatch was knit in the round using us7. I cast on 50 stitches which means that one side should be 5" (25 stitches). I also washed and blocked the swatch. I could go up to size us8, but I like how cotton fleece looks knit slightly tighter. But is it worth the sizing issue? I am a 31" bust (yah, no short rows for me, not much there!!!) and was planning on making the XS. But with this swatch, I guess I should make the next size which is a size 34" bust. I wish the pattern said how many stitches are at the bust so that I can calculate. Do any of you know/remember what the stitch count is on the size 34"?
Thanks for your help! I am so looking forward to making this sweater!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Annie, how long of needle did you use for your swatch? Did you cast on with the backward loop?
I knit the swatch magic loop, I don't remember the length of the needle. I also knit a swatch with straights and it's about the same, ever so slightly more loose.
