I, like many who have gone before me, have fallen in love with a stupidly expensive sweater:
This is a $650 (US) Burberry sweater. That’s right, they are charging $650 for garter stitch. But as you know, being a knitter means you’ve been behind the curtain at Oz, you know how the whole thing works. So I did what any sane knitter would do- I took that obscenely expensive sweater into the change room,whipped out my measuring tape, and made a lot of notes, very quickly:
The xs size stats are as follows:
– Length: 18.5″, Bust: 31″, Sleeve: 12″, Waist: 29″
– Gauge: 6sts/inch (body), 7sts/inch (mandarin collar)
– Belt is a 1″-wide tube of stockinette, pressed flat. belt loops are also stockinette, sewn on.
– 2″ high mandarin collar
– Edges of front panels have slipped stitch edges
– Hem has some sort of tublar cast on
– Buttons are 3″ apart
– Raglan sleeves

It gets it’s cuddly softness from being a squishy 70% alpaca/30% silk blend. What do you guys think? Did I miss anything in my stats gathering?
