With deep armholes and wide shoulders, Mooncrush features a boxy, sporty silhouette that is equally well-matched with your favorite cut-offs or layered over a linen sundress. The pattern includes 9 sizes, options for cropped or full length, tips for working intarsia, yarn requirements and instructions for making a 2- or 3-color version, and original charts for the intarsia panels across the size range. <big><big><big>SIZING</big></big></big> *All of my garment patterns are #sizeinclusive to fit up to at least a 60"/150cm full bust circumference.* **FINISHED BUST/CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE:** In inches: (36, 40, 44) \[48, 52, 56\] {60, 64, 68} In centimeters: (90, 100, 110) \[120, 130, 140\] {150, 160, 170} To choose your size, measure the circumference of your torso around the fullest part of your chest and choose a size that fits with 4-6”/10-15cm of positive ease. *In the photos, Jacqui is wearing a size 7 (60”/150cm) with 6”/15cm of positive ease at the chest and Ivana is wearing a size 4 (48”/120cm) with 5”/12.5cm of positive ease at the chest.* To see how Mooncrush looks across the size range with varying amounts of ease, check out the [test knitting round up here][3]! &nbsp; &nbsp; <big><big><big>GAUGE, NEEDLES, NOTIONS</big></big></big> **Gauge:** 22 sts and 32 rows over 4”/10cm in stockinette after blocking **Recommended needles:** - Main needles: US 4 (3.5mm) 32"/80cm circular **Notions:** stitch markers, darning needle, one set of spare circular needles several sizes smaller than main needles &nbsp; &nbsp; <big><big><big>YARN</big></big></big> This tank was designed in Purl Soho Field Linen (295 yards/269 meters/100g), a fingering weight 100% linen with a stiff hand while knitting that develops into a soft, drapey fabric once washed. **YARN REQUIREMENTS:** &nbsp; **3-Color crop:** YARN A: (165, 180, 195) \[215, 230, 250\] {265, 280, 295} yards / *(150, 165, 180) \[195, 210, 230\] {240, 255, 270} meters* YARN B: (110, 120, 135) \[145, 155, 170\] {180, 195, 205} yards / *(100, 110, 125) \[135, 140, 155\] {165, 180, 185} meters* YARN C: (190, 210, 225) \[240, 255, 275\] {290, 305, 320} yards / *(175, 190, 205) \[220, 235, 250\] {265, 280, 295} meters* &nbsp; **3-Color full length:** YARN A: (195, 220, 240) \[265, 285, 310\] {330, 350, 370} yards / *(180, 200, 220) \[240, 260, 285\] {300, 320, 340} meters* YARN B: (200, 225, 245) \[265, 290, 310\] {335, 355, 380} yards / *(185, 205, 225) \[240, 265, 285\] {305, 325, 345} meters* YARN C: (250, 270, 290) \[310, 335, 355\] {375, 400, 415} yards / *(230, 245, 265) \[285, 305, 325\] {345, 365, 380} meters* &nbsp; **2-Color crop:** YARNS 1 and 2 (same amount for each): (235, 255, 280) \[300, 320, 350\] {370, 390, 410} yards / *(215, 235, 255) \[275, 295, 320\] {340, 355, 375} meters* &nbsp; **2-Color full length:** YARNS 1 and 2 (same amount for each): (325, 360, 390) \[420, 455, 490\] {520, 555, 585} yards / *(295, 330, 355) \[385, 415, 450\] {475, 505, 535} meters* &nbsp; **Other suitable yarns:** $ [Knit Picks Lindy Chain][5] [Holst Garn Coast Uld Bomuld][6] [Berroco Remix Light][7] $$ [BC Garn Alba][8] [Isager Strik Bomulin][9] [Kelbourne Woolens Mojave][10] $$$ [Echoview Fiber Mill Lapidary][11] [Shibui Koan][12] [Magpie Fibers Equinox Sport][13] &nbsp; <big><big><big>SHARING</big></big></big> See pictures of other Mooncrush tanks and share pictures of your own progress on Instagram with the hashtag [#MooncrushTank][14].
