In this pattern i have put both UK and US terms. The size of this jumper should fit a UK size 24/26. However this can be changed by adding or removing a an extra chain in the rows and a round/row or two. I also used double knit yarn for my top. If you wish to use double knit yarn i better warn you that when i washed it, it grew longer and softer. Which in my opinion made it better for a cover up over a swimsuit for your holidays.
