The patterns are written with the utmost care and are tested to ensure their feasibility. However, mistakes happen, and we always appreciate it when you report an issue to us.
You may also have doubts about what is indicated.
We invite you to send us an email at support@lucileateliersdesigns.com<\/strong> (address which you can find in our patterns).
Indeed, it’s only via this email that we will respond to your questions (do not write on Ravelry or social networks<\/strong>).
Please make sure you have the latest version of the pattern (you receive an email with each update) and that you have not seen any corrections on the errata page<\/a> (for printed patterns or book).
Please note that we only provide support for Lucile Ateliers Designs patterns. For other designers and brands, please contact them directly. <\/p><\/div><\/div>

You’ll need to choose the one that suits you.
Whether for an accessory or a garment, we always give a recommended ease for wearing your knit.
▶ Positive ease <\/em>means your knit will be bigger than your real body measurement. The bigger the ease, the roomier the knit.
▶ Negative ease<\/em> means your knit will be smaller than your real body measurement. The smaller the ease, the more fitted the knit.
▶ Neutral ease<\/em> (zero) gives a knit close to the body.
How to choose your size?<\/strong>
Measure the part of your body <\/strong> to which the ease refers. For example, for a sweater\/cardigan, measure your chest circumference (don’t hesitate to ask for help for a more accurate measurement).
In the table, find the closest A measurement (ease measurement) to your measurement.<\/strong> Look for the one that is higher when you need positive ease, and the one that is lower for negative ease.
Check the ease:<\/strong> by subtracting the measurement from the chart from your actual measurement. If the ease falls within the recommended range, then choose this size. Otherwise, recalculate with another size from the chart.
Exemple avec le cardigan Ariane :<\/strong><\/em>
Vous mesurez 92 cm de tour de poitrine. The closest larger size is 99.5 cm: 99.5-93 = 7.5 cm. The recommended ease being between 7 and 10 cm, you can choose this size.

Between two sizes?<\/strong> Determine whether you want a garment that will be more loose or more close-fitting by choosing the size above or the one below.
You can also look at the other measurements to give you an idea. The arm circumference is a good measurement to take into account when determining your size choice.
Don’t hesitate to modify our patterns as you wish! In our view, a pattern is a basic support, a starting point from which you can deviate at will to create your own knits \ud83d\ude42


For more details, we’ve written a complete article on this topic with a tool to help you choose your size for each pattern: How to Choose the Right Knitting Size: The Complete Guide<\/a>.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

We choose not to indicate a level for our patterns because it is very subjective.
We write our patterns as precisely as possible and make sure to describe all the techniques used at the end of the pattern. The flow is intended to be as educational as possible; we design our patterns as supports that accompany you in making your knits so that even someone who doesn’t yet know all the techniques can venture a little further.
You can check out our video tutorials available here<\/a> or other videos available on the internet to help you.
Sometimes, a pattern will prove too great a challenge for your level. It’s up to you to judge! If you’re not afraid to learn lots of new techniques at once, dive into a round yoke with cables… If you prefer to go gradually, choose a pattern that will introduce you to one or two techniques you don’t know at all.
The techniques included in our patterns are indicated in the pattern description on Ravelry<\/a> or on the pattern page in the eshop<\/a>. <\/p><\/div><\/div>

We can address issues of imprecision or correct an error in a pattern, but we do not offer free support throughout the completion of a pattern. Similarly, we cannot rewrite the entire pattern to perfectly match your measurements.
Some yarn shops offer this service. Don’t hesitate to contact them to find out their prices and availability. <\/p><\/div><\/div>
