Needles:

3mm & 3.5mm circular needles and/or DPNs

Needle sizes are recommended, choose a size needed to achieve gauge, the smaller needle should be 0.5 mm smaller than the larger needle

Gauge:

24 stiches & 32 rows per 4” / 10cm on larger needles in stockinette after blocking

Techniques:

This pattern uses German short rows to shape the neckline, there are plenty of great free tutorials online, I recommend the video tutorial by Mimi Kezer and the blog by Åsa Tricosa.

Choosing your size and fit:

The stated measurements are the actual final garment measurements, with no ease. Choose a size with 1-4” / 2.5-10 cm positive ease depending on the fit you want to achieve. To select a size, take your bust measurement and add your chosen amount of ease. Use the sizing chart on page 6.

The pattern is designed for a cropped length with ¾ length sleeves, if you wish to make full length sleeves and body, continue working sleeves and body to the desired length. Take into account the extra yardage required in the MC.
