Materials

Gauge

Sample was made with a gauge of 12 stitches and 12 rows = 4” / 10 cm in hdc, blocked on US I /5.5 mm hook

This gauge is only a suggestion and you can use whatever hook size and yarn weight you like to create your ideal fabric. This piece is entirely made to measure, so you have total control! However, this means that a gauge swatch will be very important.

TIP: Gauge swatches should be at least 5” / 12.5 cm square to get an accurate measurement of your gauge

Sizing

Meant to be worn with 0-4” / 0-10 cm of positive ease at the fullest part of the bust

This pattern is made to measure, so you can make absolutely any size you like!
