Finished Measurements

  • Finished Bust: 36 (39, 45, 48, 51, 54) in.
  • Back length: 21 in.

Materials

  • 2 (3, 3, 4, 4, 5) balls each of 4 colors (Model worked with White #100, Cornflower #633, Pistachio #421, and Periwinkle #647)

Designer Notes:

  • The shell is worked entirely of small blocks of 6 sts x 12 rows. Each block uses 75” of yarn.

Pattern appears to overestimate the use of Color A (white) in the shell.
