Available in sizes XS (S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X), this versatile pattern caters to a wide range of body types.

You can easily adjust the measurements by changing the cast-on stitches, modifying the number of hip increases, or altering the length to achieve your desired fit and style.
To get started, you will need approximately 800-1500 yards of King Cole Bamboo Cotton in a cheerful yellow shade, depending on the size you choose. We recommend using size 6 circular needles for a smooth knitting experience. Additionally, you'll need a 3-inch wide black elastic waistband, measuring approximately 23 (25, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44) inches, to complete the construction. Be sure to gather 2 Marker A and 4 Marker B for marking your stitches, along with a sewing machine for attaching the elastic waist.
