Sizes
All of my patterns are #sizeinclusive through a 62” full chest.

(28, 32, 36)40, 44, 48{52, 56, 60}“

Garment Full Chest Measurement:

(62, 70, 81.5)92.5, 100.5, 114.5{125.5, 133.5, 143.5}cm

This top is designed with 3-6.5”/7.5-16.5cm of negative ease at the full chest for a close fit. To choose your size, subtract 3-6.5”/7.5-16.5cm from your full chest measurement and choose the closest garment full chest measurement size. If you have a large bust in relation to your upper bust, or if you simply prefer a tighter fit, choose one size down from the recommended ease.

Suggested Yarn
$$$
Ritual Dyes Undine DK
(60/40 Organic Cotton/Linen, 273yds/100g, Natural Colorway)

$$
KnitPicks Cotlin (70/30 Cotton Linen, 123yds/50g)

While the sample was worked in a plant fiber blend, the pattern can be worked in any DK weight base you like. Wool will provide more warmth and elasticity. Just make sure you choose a fiber that is comfortable against your bare skin, since the top is fitted.

Suggested Needles
Main: US 4 (3.50mm) circular needles

Gauge
22 sts & 30 rows / 4”(10cm), 2x2 ribbing worked flat & in the round, blocked, measured unstretched

Note that since the fabric is ribbed, exact stitch gauge is not crucial. As long as your gauge is close, your top will fit.
