CONSTRUCTION
The BOXY V NECK is worked from the top down, beginning with the back neck and then working down to the armholes. Stitches are then picked up for the front, joined at the neck and worked down to the armholes before joining in the round. The piece has customisable elements for the neckline and armholes.

SKILL LEVEL: Advanced Beginner/Intermediate

SIZE GUIDE
The BOXY V-NECK is intended to be worn with a positive ease of approximately 4 - 6 inches / 10 - 15 cm at the bust. The sizes are based on a bust circumference of approximately 28-30 (32-34) 36-38 (40-42) 44-46 (48-50) 52-54, (56-58) inches / 71-76 (81-86) 91.5-96.5 (101.5-106.5) 111.5-117 (122-127) 132-137 (142-147) cm.

Measure yourself before beginning to ensure that you choose the right size. For example: Your bust circumference is 34 + 4 = 38 inches 85 cm + 10 cm = 95 cm i.e. work a size S. If you are in between two sizes, you can choose a little less ease or more.

FINISHED GARMENT MEASUREMENTS

Sample 1: Speckled Yarn: Wool and Works fingering weight Slub Yarn (90% Superwash Merino, 10% Nylon, 400 metres/437 yards, 100g), in Neon Lights. If you decide to use this yarn, 2 (2) 3 (3) 3 (4) 5 (5) skeins are required

I recommend a plant based fibre to provide a drape as seen on Sample 2, however you can use any yarn/fiber that matches the gauge.
