There are instuctions for the super jumper and the cardigan with a smal shawl collar. To fit 34-36 inch bust, use a thicker ply and large needles for a bigger size, but dont foget to allow more wool if you do that. As this a finer ply you will need about 600g for the set in modern 4ply - but always allow a bit more as all yarns vary and in the past they did not give yardage(or metres per ball) remember 1oz is about 30g
