SIZING
All of my patterns are size inclusive.
1 (2, 3, 4, 5) {6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
To fit chest circumference of 28 (32, 36, 40, 44) {48, 52, 56, 60, 64} in / 70 (80, 90, 100, 110) {120, 130, 140, 150, 160} cm
Finished bust circumference: 29 (33, 37, 41, 45) {49, 53, 57, 61, 65} in / 72.5 (82.5, 92.5, 102.5, 112.5) {122.5, 132.5, 142.5, 152.5, 162.5} cm
Intended to fit with 1-3 in / 2.5-7.5 cm of positive ease. Photos show size 3 on a 36 in / 90 cm bust. The tee length is a tad on the shorter side, but it can be adjusted while maintaining equal depths of the color sections by using the Tee Length Mod formula. See Schematic at left for more sizing info.
BLOCKED GAUGE
Stockinette: 17 sts and 26 rnds = 4 in / 10 cm
Because short rows are worked to level out the back with the
front, row gauge is just an important as stitch gauge.
Ribbing: 18 sts and 36 rnds = 4 in / 10 cm
NEEDLES
Ribbing: US 6 / 4.0 mm circular needles, 24 in / 60 cm long for the neckband and at least 32 in / 80 cm long for the hem (and cuffs if using magic loop); DPNs or small circumference circular needles for the cuffs if not using magic loop
Main: US 8 / 5.0 mm circular needles, 24 in / 60 cm long for upper yoke and at least 32 in / 80 cm long for the body (and sleeves if using magic loop); DPNs or small circumference circular needles for the sleeves if not using magic loop
NOTIONS
