SIZING GUIDE
This garment is graded into sizes XS (S, M, L, XL) (2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). Recommended positive ease is 4-10” / 10-25cm at the chest.

Finished garment chest circumference: 35.75 (39, 43.5, 46.5, 50.75) (54.5, 59.5, 62.5, 65.5)“ / 89 (97.5, 108.5, 116, 127) (135, 148.5, 156, 164)cm.

GAUGE
Using 3.25mm / US size 3 needles, or needle size required to meet gauge, 26 stitches over 34 rounds in stockinette stitch, blocked, creates a 4x4”/10x10cm square.

YARN
Fingering / sock weight yarn is required for this pattern. The sample is worked using Hypothesis Yarn’s Smooth Sock base (Merino/Nylon blend; 423m/463yds per 100g), in the colourways Threnody for MC and Important Ghosts for CC.

I recommend high contrast yarn colours for this design to ensure the delicate colourwork pattern is visible.
