Light Academia

> Check out a teaser trailer for this pattern [here][1]! > This is a collaboration with Murky Depths! [Check out their yarn here][2], including Light Academia Kits! *This pattern is a followup to [Dark Academia][3]*. If Dark Academia is fall, Light Academia is spring - incorporating soft sunlight, fresh flowers, and winding ivy into the structure and architecture of the aesthetic. *Light Academia is worked seamlessly top down. As written, the archways in the yoke are expressed in cables and texture, gradually being overtaken by vining colorwork. I also have alternate charts that eliminate the vines, if that is your preference. I also have an all-colorwork alternative. Please check out the beautiful tester photos to see these alternates! **Sizing and Dimensions - See last photo on left for full schematic** Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4) **(5, 6, 7)** (8, 9, 10) Finished measurements: 33.25 (37, 40.25, 44.25) **(48, 51.75, 55.5)** (59, 62.75, 66.5)” / 84.5 (94, 102, 112.5) **(122, 131.5, 141)** (150, 159.5, 169) cm finished bust.
