Please note images show garment size 5 on 104cm chest circumference. Sizes below are suggested based on chest circumference including negative 20% ease. If a different fit if desired, it can be achieved by sizing up or down 1 or 2 sizes.

DESCRIPTION
The 03 Rib Cami is worked top down on 4.5 mm needles with 20% negative ease at the bust. A percentage calculation is used for the ease as this creates proportional ease for each size, smaller sizes will have a smaller ease, larger sizes will have a larger amount of ease.
Firstly, the individual bust pieces are cast on using a provisional cast on method, leaving live stitches for the straps that will be worked at the end of the pattern. Increases are worked in the centre of each bust piece to create decorative shaping. The bust pieces are joined together at the centre front, and the stitches are cast on for the back. The body is worked in the round with an optional feature of waist shaping to be added. Lastly, the live stitches are picked up from the provisional cast on and worked in double stockinette stitch to create the straps. These are seamed to the back, and voila! You have completed your 03 Rib Cami pattern.
