SIZES:
All of my garments are #sizeinclusive through a bust size of 62” including the intended ease in the design.

XXS, XS (S, M, L, 1XL)(2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL) to fit bust measurement of:
24-26, 28-30 (32-34, 36-38, 40-42, 44-46)(48-50, 52-54, 56-58, 60-62)”
61-66, 71-76 (81.5-86.5, 91.5-96.5, 101.5-106.5, 112-117, 122-127, 132-137, 142-147.5, 152.5-157.5)cm

Actual measurement of finished garment at bust (unstretched):
16, 20 (24, 28, 32, 36)(40, 44, 48, 52)”
40.5, 51 (61, 71, 81.5, 91.5)(101.5, 112, 122, 132)cm

For a fitted tank, choose a size with 8-10” (20.5-25.5 cm) of negative ease.

Materials:
Fingering weight yarn, circular needles, stitch markers, scrap yarn or stitch holders, removable stitch markers, spare needle if working three-needle bind off, darning needle

Suggested Yarn:
Ocean by the Sea Quill (100% Falkland, Single Ply, 541yards/150grams)

I recommend any fingering yarn you can get gauge with.

I have also compiled a spreadsheet of some budget yarn options that you can view here.

Suggested Needles:
US 4 – 3.5 mm circular needles (body)
Choose a circumference that is at least several inches shorter than the circumference of the garment.

Gauge:
24 sts & 33 rows per 4x4” square in 3x3 ribbing (main body)

Gauge is measured blocked and unstretched. If you can get close to gauge while stretching it a bit, that’s fine. Measuring gauge in ribbing isn’t an exact science, as ribbing is very stretchy.

Alternate Gauge:
While this pattern is graded for a fingering gauge, I will be including an additional schematic that provides measurements for a garment worked at a DK/Worsted gauge of 15 sts & 22 rows / 4x4” square. Note that this set of measurements does not correspond to Craft Yarn Council standards, nor does it include yardage estimates; it simply provides measurements to assist in choosing a size for those wishing to knit the design at a different gauge.

Yardage:
168-202, 223-268 (280-336, 344-413, 411-493, 483-580)(559-671, 640-786, 725-870, 818-982)yds

154-185, 204-245 (256-307, 315-378, 376-451, 442-530)(511-614, 585-702, 663-796, 748-898)m

If you would like to extend the length of the camisole, you will need an additional
14, 17 (21, 24, 28, 31)(35, 38, 42, 45)yds / 13, 16 (19, 22, 26, 28)(32, 35, 38, 41)m per 1” (2.5cm) knit.

Techniques:
knitting in the round, bottom up, reading knit and purl stitches, decreasing, holding stitches, i-cord, 3-needle bind off or kitchener stitch
