Construction
Worked top down, starting flat to create the keyhole closure and then joined and worked in the round from then on. Yarn is held single for the yoke to create a sheer look, then held double for the body and sleeves. Icord neck and ruffle are added separately. Full instructions for both short and long sleeve versions with advice on how to personalise the sleeve cuff circumference for bicep and wrist.

Sizing
When choosing which size to knit it is best to go by the chest measurement if possible as all bodies are different, and the sizes are only a suggestion. Designed to have 5-10cm / 2-4” positive ease, choose a size that is 5-10cm / 2-4” larger than your chest circumference. Sleeve and body lengths are based on the average for each size but feel free to make them as long or short as you wish bearing in mind it may affect your yardage.

Gauge & Yarn
It is always a good idea to gauge swatch to make sure your garment fits, and in this case it is important to swatch with yarn held both single and double to make sure you’re happy with the fabric you’re creating. You can create two separate swatches, or you can start your swatch with yarn held single, then change to 2 strands after a few cm. Make sure to take your gauge reading from the section where yarn is held double.
The pattern is written for lace weight fluffy yarn like Kidsilk Mohair or Alpaca. If using a different fibre please bear in mind the dimensions can’t be guaranteed.
