Knitting Pattern Overview: Discover our versatile knitting pattern available in a variety of sizes, from XS to 5X, ensuring a perfect fit for all body types. The finished chest circumference ranges from 29 ¾” (75.5 cm) for the smallest size to a generous 59 ¾” (152 cm) for our 5X size. This design is crafted to be worn with an ease of between -2 and +2” or -5 and +5 cm, providing you with flexibility and comfort. The sample featured showcases a 36 ½” (92 cm) bust, highlighted with approximately +1” (2.5 cm) of ease for an ideal fit.
Gauge Information: Achieve the perfect look with our gauge measurement of 22 stitches and 32 rounds, which equals 4” (10 cm) in stockinette stitch knitted in the round when blocked. This ensures that your finished piece will align with the desired dimensions.
Yarn Recommendations: For this project, we recommend using Magpie Fibers Swanky DK, a luxurious yarn blend made from 80% wool, 10% cashmere, and 10% nylon. Each skein offers 250 yards (or 229 meters) of soft, high-quality yarn, with quantities needed ranging from 4 skeins for sizes XS to 9 skeins for the 5X size, all in the beautiful Amber Waves colorway. Alternatively, you may choose approximately 900 to 2100 yards of any DK weight yarn to suit your preferences.
Knitting Needles: You will need US 6 (4 mm) circular needles in both 16” (40 cm) and 24” (60 cm) lengths, along with double-pointed needles (DPNs) or a long circular needle for the magic loop technique on the sleeves. Always use the needle size that allows you to obtain the specified gauge for the best results.
Essential Notions: Don’t forget to gather your knitting essentials! You will need a cable needle to assist with intricate stitch patterns, a yarn needle for weaving in ends, and either scrap yarn or stitch holders for easy management of your project. Additionally, stitch markers will be invaluable for keeping track of your progress.
This knitting pattern not only provides detailed sizing and yarn specifications, but also encourages creativity through customization. Ideal for knitters of all levels, this project is a delightful way to create a beautiful garment that combines comfort with elegant style!
