Finished Chest Circumference: 44.5 (48.5, 52, 57, 62, 67)”/113 (123, 132, 145, 157, 170) cm
Picking a Size: Top is meant to be oversized and is intended to be worn with lots of positive ease. Pick a size that is approx 7-11”/18-28 cm) larger than your actual bust measurement if you would like a look similar to that photographed. If you want a more fitted look, choose a size that is only 3-6”/8-15 cm larger than your actual bust measurement.
Gauge: 17 sts & 25 rws = 4”/10 cm in garter st after blocking
Yarn: Approx. 654 (776, 908, 1068) yds of sport- weight yarn, shown in Batiste by Knit One Crochet Too (50% Merino, 30% linen, 20% Silk; 50g = 208 yds), 4 (4, 5, 6) skeins. Shown in colorway Plum.
Yarn used is a sport-weight, linen blend, knit up on a much larger needle than you typically would for this type of yarn to create a loose stitch. I recommend using a similar linen blend or cotton blend yarn.
Needles and other supplies:
• US 8/5 mm 32”/80 cm circular knitting needle or size needed to obtain gauge
• US 8/5 mm extra 24”/60 cm or 32”/80 cm circular knitting needle (or size used to obtain gauge)
• Stitch markers (making sure 1 is a different color than the others)
• 4 pieces of scrap yarn, approx. 20” in length
• Tapestry needle to weave in ends
