Choosing the right size is of utmost importance. Take your body measurements and choose the size that corresponds with them. The recommended ease for this design is approx. 0-10 cm (0-4 inches) of positive ease. The measurements below are the finished garment measurements, not your own.

Needles: 4.5 mm (US size 7) circular needle. I recommend using an 80 cm or 100 cm circular for the body,
depending on the size you’re knitting.

766) (820, 902, 957) (1012, 1094) yards. I made this top with Mayflower Merino: The Collection in the colorway Sun. It’s a 100% SW merino yarn and comes in packs with four 50 g skeins (à 160 meters) with a gradient color change.
