ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Banco Dress is worked from the top down on circular needles. First, work the back of the yoke, then the shoulders, then the
front of the yoke, then work the body in the round to end.

Sizes above correspond with the following chest circumference:

Measure your own chest circumference to determine which size will fit you the best. The drop stitch is very stretchy, if you run
between 2 sizes, we recommand to choose the size down.
