XS (S, M, L, 1XL)(2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL) to fit bust measurement of: 28-30 (32-34, 36-38, 40-42, 44-46)(48-50, 52-54, 56-58, 60-62)” [71-76 (81-86, 91.5-96.5, 101.5-106.5, 111.5-117)(122-127, 132-137, 142-147, 152-158)cm] Actual measurement of finished garment at bust (unstretched): 24 (27.5, 31, 36, 39.5){43, 48, 51.5, 55}" [61 (70, 78.5, 91.5, 100.5){109, 122, 131, 139.5}cm] Choose a finished garment measurement that is 4-6”[10-15cm] smaller than your full bust measurement. **Materials:** Fingering, DK, or worsted weight yarn, circular needles, stitch markers, removable stitch markers, extra needle for 3-needle bind off, darning needle **Suggested Yarn:** Any fingering (held double,) DK or Sport (held single,) or Worsted (held single.) I highly encourage you to use stash yarn for this. Let loose! Combine colors you usually wouldn’t! Have fun! **Suggested Needles:** US 5 – 3.75 mm 16-32” circular needles. Choose a circumference that is several inches shorter than the final circumference of the *garment.* **Gauge:** 20 sts & 28 rows per 4x4” square in 3x3 ribbing (main body) (Note: Gauge measured blocked and unstretched. If you can get close to gauge while stretching it a bit, that’s fine. If you want a denser fabric, feel free to knit the main body on smaller needles. If you can’t achieve row gauge, don’t sweat it. It’s not that important for this garment.)  **Yardage:** Please note that these are estimates! You may need more yarn, but since y’all are going to be mix and matching from stash stuffs, that shouldn’t be an issue, right? :P 140-175 (170-200, 230-265, 275-315, 345-375)[425-475, 525-550, 575-600, 625-700]yards 128-160 (155-183, 210-242, 251-288, 315-343)[388-434, 480-503, 526-548, 571-640]meters Note: If you are holding fingering double, you will need the above quantities for each color you use. **Techniques:** knitting in the round, bottom up, decreasing, holding stitches, i-cord, 3-needle bind off Construction: The piece is worked from the bottom up until the underarm. Stitches are bound off for the underarms and back, and then the front is worked flat. **Tutorials** [Double Knit I-Cord][4] [1]: https://www.jessiemaeddesigns.com/newsletter [2]: https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/mylittlesecretcrop/ [3]: https://www.instagram.com/jessssiemae/ [4]: https://www.instagram.com/tv/Byx_76UjOQD/
