St. Armand's Circle
Introducing St. Armand’s Circle, an oversized, beautifully lacy top that’s perfect for year-round layering! Whether you’re lounging by the pool in the summer or braving the crisp air in the Fall and Winter, this versatile piece has got you covered. Simply throw it over your bathing suit or a tank top for a stylish summer look, or layer it with a long sleeve t-shirt beneath to keep cozy in cooler months.
**Size Details**: For the perfect fit, take your bust measurement at the fullest point. If you measure 36”, 42”, 48”, or 54” inches at the bust, select the smaller size option for less ease or the larger size option for more ease. The available sizes are XS/S (S/M, M/L, L/XL, XL/2X) with bust measurements ranging from 30-36” (36-42”, 42-48”, 48-54”, 54-62”) or 76-91 (91-107, 107-122, 122-137, 137-158) cm circumference. After blocking, the garment sizes will measure approximately 42” (48”, 54”, 60”, 66”) in circumference, ensuring a comfy and flattering fit.
Yarn: You will need 2 (2, 3, 3, 3) skeins of Wonderland Yarns “Cheshire Cat” fingering weight yarn to create this stunning top. This whimsical yarn will not only bring your project to life but also add an enchanting touch to your wardrobe.
Gauge: Swatching and blocking your gauge swatch is essential for achieving the proper fit. Aim for a gauge of 16 stitches and 24 rows to achieve a measurement of 4 inches in our delicate lace pattern. This step is crucial in ensuring your St. Armand’s Circle top fits as beautifully as it looks!
Needles: You will need a US 5/3.75mm 24”-32” circular needle for the body of the sweater (or a size that obtains your gauge). Additionally, have a US 9/5.5mm 24”-32” circular needle ready for the cast-on and bind-off. These needle sizes will help you create a polished and professional finish.
