Hi there,
How would this be changed to inches instead of cm? Thanks, Rhonda
Hi Rhonda,
Cm to inch converter: https://www.google.com.tr/search?q=cm+inch+converter&oq=cm+inc&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l5.6013j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
50cm= 21 inch
55cm= 14 inch
15cm= 6 inch
Hopefully it benefits your work. Good luck…
I need to make a larger size – 40-44.. Can you give me that numbers of stitches needed for the larger size.
Also is this made on size 5 needles using Chunky Yarn. The need size seems to be too small for the size of the yarn.
Appreciate your help at your earliest convenience.

Weight: 100 g
Yarn Length: 150
Related Needle Sizes:5
Related Crochet Sizes: 4Stitch Info: 10×10 cm measure, 18 rows 15
Please try a yarn with these features.
Need to have directions for larger sizes, i.e. 40 and 44
Is the needle size 5 correct for Chunky yarn??
Hi, Marcia
You can increase it proportionally for larger sizes.
The needle size refers to the Euro metric. It will be 3.75 size to the US measure.
I am pleased to answer your questions.
Thanks for the good pattern. Glance complicated to far brought agreeable from your works! I ask to you about the this pattern. By the way, how could we communicate?
Good day! I simply wish to give you a big thumbs up for your
excellent pattern you have right here on this post.
I’ll be returning to your site for more soon. rooibos tea loose
Just came across your website & I love it. Thanks for coming up with an easy sweater pattern. It’s going to wk perfectly for me as I’m more of a beginning Knitter. I’ll be back for sure.
The sweater seems nice. However, most of your metric – American conversions are incorrect. Purchase a ruler that has cm on one length and inches on the other. A meter stick is 39 in. 2.5 cm = 1 in. 5 cm = 2 in. 15 cm = 6 in. 30 cm = 12 in. 50 cm = 19.5 in SO 55 cm cannot equal 14.
Also, you can look up needle conversion charts on the internet. 5 mm is an 8 American. 5.5 mm is a 9 American. If you mentioned the yarn tension (gauge), it would always be helpful. The sweater does look nice – I will eventually knit one.
I agree with the comments about the conversions, they are way off and incorrectly identified as US, when they are in fact metric. The chunky yarn with that small a needle is so tight it practically breaks the needle.
