Materials

• US 8 (5mm) circular knitting needles
• US 6 (4mm) circular knitting needles for ribbing
• Approximately 310, 400 (420, 520, 620, 720) (790, 930, 1050, 1200) yards of worsted weight yarn or any yarn that can meet gauge. I made 3 samples - One in The Frosted Stitch Winter Worsted in colourway Showers, - Click here to buy the kit - One in Lion Brand Woolease in colourway Wheat, one in Patons Canadiana in colourway Burgungy.
• Additional needle for 3 needle bind off
• One additional needle for 3 needle bind off

• Scissors
• Darning Needle

Sizing

• This has been designed with neutral ease. The design fits close to the body. If you would like a looser fit, please size up.
• Graded for 10 sizes: 1, 2(3, 4, 5, 6),(7, 8, 9, 10)
• Finished Bust measurements: 30, 33 (36, 40, 44, 48), (52, 56, 60, 64) or 76

Notes

• This design is knit bottom up in the round. Once the body is done, you’ll split for the front and back panel, seam the shoulders together using 3 needle bind off and continue to the collar!
• Check gauge as you go – gauge can easily change so make sure to check in throughout your make!
• Try on your top as you go to make sure it’s fitting correctly – using cord connectors make this really easily to be able to slide the garment on and off!
