Boxy V-Neck

For more information and yarn suggestions, see: https://www.fridayknits.com/knitpatterns/p/boxy-v-neck-pattern **CONSTRUCTION** The BOXY V NECK is worked from the top down, beginning with the back neck and then working down to the armholes. Stitches are then picked up for the front, joined at the neck and worked down to the armholes before joining in the round. The piece has customisable elements for the neckline and armholes. **SKILL LEVEL:** Advanced Beginner/Intermediate **SIZE GUIDE** The BOXY V-NECK is intended to be worn with a positive ease of approximately 4 - 6 inches / 10 - 15 cm at the bust. The sizes are based on a bust circumference of approximately 28-30 (32-34) 36-38 (40-42) 44-46 (48-50) 52-54, (56-58) inches / 71-76 (81-86) 91.5-96.5 (101.5-106.5) 111.5-117 (122-127) 132-137 (142-147) cm. Measure yourself before beginning to ensure that you choose the right size. For example: Your bust circumference is 34 + 4 = 38 inches [85 cm + 10 cm = 95 cm] i.e. work a size S. If you are in between two sizes, you can choose a little less ease or more. **FINISHED GARMENT MEASUREMENTS** BUST: 34 (38) 42 (46) 50 (54) 58 (62) inches / 85 (95) 105 (115) 125 (135) 145 (155) cm finished bust measurement. Garment is intended to be worn with 4-6 inches / 10-15 cm of positive ease built in. **SUGGESTED NEEDLES** ~ 3.5 mm [US 4] circular needles 16, 32/40 inches / 40, 80/100 cm or size to obtain gauge. ~ 3 mm [US 2.5] circular needles for I-cord ~ Spare 3 mm [US 2.5] double pointed or cable needle for 3 needle bind off. **SUGGESTED YARN** Samples made in size XS. Sample 1: Speckled Yarn: Wool and Works fingering weight Slub Yarn (90% Superwash Merino, 10% Nylon, 400 metres/437 yards, 100g), in Neon Lights.
