Choosing the right size is of utmost importance. Take your body measurements and choose the size that corresponds with them. The recommended ease for this design is approx. 0-10 cm (0-4 inches) of positive ease. The measurements below are the finished garment measurements, not your own.

Chest circumference:
80, (90, 100, 110) (120, 130, 140) (150, 160) cm

MATERIALS
Needles: 4.5 mm (US size 7) circular needle. I recommend using an 80 cm or 100 cm circular for the body, depending on the size you’re knitting.

Yarn: Sport weight yarn, approximately 500, (550, 600, 700) (750, 825, 875) (925, 1000) meters / 547, (601, 656, 766) (820, 902, 957) (1012, 1094) yards. I made this top with Mayflower Merino: The Collection in the colorway Sun. It’s a 100% SW merino yarn and comes in packs with four 50 g skeins (à 160 meters) with a gradient color change.

Other tools: crochet hook, darning needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape, scrap yarn OR extra cable.
