Sewing Tips 
Sewing a muslin/toile first is always recommended since it allows you to check the fit and make any necessary adjustments first.
When choosing your size, I recommend going after your waist measurement and performing a full bust adjustment (FBA) if necessary. Further advice on this can be found in the instructions.


The Story Behind The Name: Centli is Nahuatl for 'corn' and also stands for Centeotl, the god of fertility and growth. Corn is one of the oldest known food grains. The oldest corn was found in Oaxaca, Mexico, and is over 6000 years old! There are over 60 different kinds of corn. It is also believed that Mexico is home to the largest number of maize varieties; white, blue, fat, sweet, small, yellow, .... and so on! Making 60 versions for the Centli Sweater was a bit ambitious, but I think 8 versions are a good start in terms of variety.
