TECHNIQUES:

• Knitting in the round, stockinette, double knitting, picking up stitches, increases (m1r, m1l, m1rp, m1lp), decreases (k2tog, ssk), blocking

GAUGE (blocked):

• 22 sts x 36 rows / 10 cm or 4 inches in stockinette | It is best to make both a swatch flat and in the round to ensure gauge is met both ways

NEEDLES & NOTIONS:

• 3.50 mm circular needles / US 4 (suggested size – adjust up or down to achieve gauge)
• Cords 24 inches, 29 inches, 36 inches, or 48 inches – depending on your full bust size
• Stitch holder/scrap yarn
• Stitch markers
• Tapestry needle
• 1/2 inch elastic (optional)

YARN:

• suggested: DK weight yarn around 220—230 yards or 200-230 meters per 100 g | Any yarn that achieves gauge can be used
• Estimated amounts based on full busts of: 28-30, (31-33), 34-36, (37-39), 40-42, (43-45), 46-48, (49-51), 52-54, (55-57), 58-60, (61-63), 64-66, (67-69), 70, estimated yarn quantities: = 180, (200), 240, (300), 350, (390), 420, (450), 475, (500), 550, (590), 625, (680), 700 m or 197, (219), 263, (328), 383, (427), 459, (492), 520, (547), 602, (645), 684, (744), 746 yd amounts are conservative estimates due to variations based on individual combinations of full bust and over bust – side bust difference, as well as strap type.*
