Sizing

  • This has been designed with neutral ease. The design fits close to the body. If you would like a looser fit, please size up.
  • Graded for 10 sizes: 1, 2(3, 4, 5, 6),(7, 8, 9, 10)
  • Finished Bust measurements: 30, 33 (36, 40, 44, 48), (52, 56, 60, 64) or 76

Notes

  • This design is knit bottom up in the round. Once the body is done, you’ll split for the front and back panel, seam the shoulders together using 3 needle bind off and continue to the collar!
  • Check gauge as you go – gauge can easily change so make sure to check in throughout your make!
  • Try on your top as you go to make sure it’s fitting correctly – using cord connectors make this really easily to be able to slide the garment on and off!
