For a sleeveless top I like some positive ease in the right places and covered bra straps! So here we go … :)

Uni Top is worked seamlessly from the top down. The upper front is shaped with short rows before you increase for the full bust. Then you continue to work the body to the bottom. After the body is completed, the strap sts are picked up to work the straps to the final length.

How to measure the upper bust: Video tutorial

Size guide
To pick your size, measure your upper bust (A) (see special techniques) and pick the size according to that number. If you are between sizes for the upper bust measurement I recommend to pick the smaller size.
The size you picked according to measurement (A) will give you the full bust measurement (B) with positive ease included.
Sample shows upper bust measurement: 83 cm = Size 3 with 16 cm of postitive ease at full bust
