Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5)

Finished bust circumference: 100 (110, 122.5, 135, 147.5) cm / 39½ (43¼, 48¼, 53¼, 58)” – to be worn with up to 25 cm / 10” positive ease
Model has 94 cm / 37” bust, stands 173 cm / 5’8” tall and is wearing a size 3.

Yarn: Karin Öberg Kalinka (4ply / fingering weight; 100% linen, 320 m / 350 yds per 100 g skein)
Shade: Natur; 2 (3, 3, 3, 3) skeins

Note: It is possible to make size 2 using only 2 skeins but there will be very little yarn remaining so gauge must be matched exactly. If in doubt, buy a third skein.

Gauge: 16 sts & 24 rows = 10 cm / 4” over St st on 3.5 mm after blocking.
20 sts & 30 rows = 10 cm / 4” over Chart A on 3.5 mm after blocking.

Needles: 3.5 mm / US 4 circular needles, 80 cm / 32” length AND knitting needles suitable for working small circumferences in the round 3 mm / US2½ circular needles, 80 cm / 32” length

Always use a needle size that will result in the correct gauge after blocking.

Notions: 17 (17, 19, 19, 20) stitch markers (one unique for beg of round), scrap yarn or stitch holders, tapestry needle

Notes: Treskilling is knitted top-down in an easy construction with an entertaining yoke pattern using 2-stitch twists – no cable needle needed. The body and sleeves are separated and sleeve sts put on hold until the body is complete. A faux seam runs down the back yoke.
