DK or worsted weight yarn, plant fibre or silk blends are ideal.
Needles and notions
US5 / 3.75mm needles.
US3 / 3.25mm needles.
For knitting flat you can use straight needles or a
24” / 60cm or longer circular needle. For knitting in
the round you will need a 16” / 40cm circular.
Stitch markers.
Sizing
14 sizes to fit bust/chest measurements from 30" to 72 1/2" / 70cm to 181.5cm with 4 options for bust shaping— A/B (no shaping), C/D, E/F, G/H
Choosing a size
If you have a bust: measure your high bust and full bust and use both measurements to choose your size.
If you don’t have a bust: measure the widest part of your chest and choose a size where this is closest to the A-B cup bust measurement.
The pattern is intended to fit with 4-6" of positive ease at the high bust. There will be slightly less positive ease at the chest / bust. If you prefer a closer fit we don’t recommend going down more than one size as the shape requires some positive ease to hang well.
To fit a high bust measurement of: 28[31, 34, 37 1/4, 40 1/4](43 1/4, 46 1/4, 49 1/4, 52 1/2, 55 1/2)[58 1/2, 61 1/2]" / 70[77.5, 85, 93, 100.5](108, 115.5, 123, 131.5, 139)[146.5, 154]cm
Choose a cup size based on the difference between your high bust and full bust measurements:
A/B cup = less than 2" / 5cm or no bust
C/D cup = closest to 3" / 7.5cm
E/F cup = closest to 4" / 10cm
G/H cup = 5" / 12.5cm or larger
Shown in size 3 with no added bust shaping and approximately 6” / 15cm of ease at the high bust.
