Finished garment bust measurements: 28(32, 36, 40, 44) (48, 52, 56, 60)" [71 (81.5, 91.5, 101.5, 112)(122, 132, 142, 152.5)cm] **Yarn** This top is knit in worsted weight yarn. My recommendation is to use solid colors rather than tonal, variegated, or speckled colors. I used Plymouth Encore in both of my samples, I like that there are a wide range of solid colors, and that it is not too expensive. Color Quadrant Crop is designed to be knit with four colors, but there are a total of 13 sections including all panels and edgings, so you could use 13 different colors for the ultimate stash buster if you wanted! This pattern also works in DK or holding fingering weight doubled for a slightly lighter fabric, as long as you get gauge. I used an acrylic and wool blend, but this pattern is also nice in 100% acrylic, 100% wool, or summer fibers like cotton and linen. **Yardage** Yardages reflect the sleeved version. The sleeveless version will require slightly less of Colors B and D.
