Finished Size: Available in a range of sizes with a chest measurement of 32[36, 40, 44, 48, 52] inches, ensuring a perfect fit for a variety of body types.
Length: The top has a length of 13[13.5, 14, 14, 14.5, 15] inches from the cast-on edge to the underarm, making it an ideal choice for layering or wearing on its own.
Yarn: This lovely pattern calls for Dragonfly Fibers Dance Rustic Silk, a luxurious blend of 100% silk noil, with 450 yards in a 4 oz skein. You will need 2[2, 2, 2, 2, 3] skeins to complete your project. Our sample was knit in the enchanting Mossy Bank color; the 44" sample required approximately 600 yards of this beautiful yarn.
Needles: For this project, use a US #6 (4.00mm) circular needle, at least 32 inches long for the body of the top. Larger sizes may find a longer needle preferable, and you will also need your preferred method for knitting small circumferences in the round. Adjust needle size to achieve the desired gauge.
