Finished Size:
The Zephyrette top is available in a range of sizes: Chest measurements are 32(36, 40, 44, 48, 52) inches. The length from cast on to underarm varies from 13 to 16 inches, ensuring a flattering fit for every body type.
Yarn: For this stunning top, we recommend using Flying Goat Farm Zephyrette, a premium blend of 70% alpaca, 20% silk, and 10% cashmere, with 215 yards available per 55g skein. Depending on the size you choose to knit, you'll need 2(2, 3, 3, 4, 5) skeins. The sample was created using the beautiful Navajo Turquoise color, with a total of 140g used for the 44” size.
Needles: Use a US #4/3.5mm circular needle, ideally a 32 inches or longer for the body of the top. For larger sizes, a longer needle may be more comfortable to work with. Additionally, you will need needles suited for your preferred technique to knit small circumferences in the round. Please be sure to use the needle size necessary to achieve the correct gauge.
Notions: To complete your Zephyrette top, you’ll require stitch markers, waste yarn or stitch holders, and a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends. You’ll find that these essential tools will help streamline your knitting process.
Gauge: To ensure your finished piece fits perfectly, knit to a gauge of 20 stitches and 28 rows per 4” in stockinette stitch. Achieving this gauge will allow your Zephyrette top to maintain its intended shape and drape beautifully.
