Pineapple Robe - more sizes!

OK... I promised this a while back and have been super side tracked since then BUT it is finally here.  I'm working out some options for making the Pineapple Robe in LARGER sizes!
***Please note that these sizes might not EXACTLY match up with apparel sizes you buy in the store... check all measurements I have listed in the sizing guide to be sure!



So for an XL/XXL size use a K hook.
Gauge with a K hook:  6 stitches and 6 rows = 2 inches
A:  28 inches
B:  58 inches (If repeated the full 5 times, if this is too long, lessen the number of repeats.)
C: 30 inches (If repeated the full 5 times, if this is too long, lessen the number of repeats.)
D: 13 inches
E:  17 inches

While making this sweater with such a large hook, the likelihood of the cotton stretching goes way up.  Read about cotton and shrinking it in the dryer in THIS POST.
