To choose your size, add 7.5 – 9.5”/19-24cm to your full chest measurement and choose the closest garment full chest measurement size. Many testers noted they would size down if they were to knit this again, and there is plenty of room to do that while still maintaining a relaxed fit. I would specifically recommend this to knitters who have a large full bust in relation to their upper bust. This pattern also includes general guidelines for neckline, sleeve, and waist shaping modifications. Note that the full chest & neck measurements 2.5” larger than the total chest and neck stitch counts would indicate, as they incorporate the additional circumference created after the stitches are dropped. **Suggested Yarn** [Modus Operandi Fibers Cotton Sport,][3] Light Indigo colorway (100% cotton, 2-ply, 285yd/100g) Please use any Sport or DK weight yarn that is financially accessible to you. While I designed this top for summer, it would work perfectly beautifully as a fall design in any DK weight wool. **Alternative Yarn Suggestions** [Gist Yarn Beam][4], $28/630yds.
