The Brunch Crew

The Brunch Crew is a top-down raglan with a decorative geometric lace motif along the front and back. Short rows are added at the back neck to shape the neckline for a better fit. The DK-weight gauge and lace panels means this knits up incredibly fast while giving you a nice stitch definition and fun details to keep you wanting to knit round after round. **This pattern has been tech edited and tested.** **Pattern includes charts and written instructions.** **Yarn requirements:** DK Weight The long sleeve version uses 1 strand of fingering weight and 1 strand of lace weight held together to make a DK weight fabric, while the short sleeve uses 1 DK weight yarn: **LONG SLEEVE** Yarn A: Fyberspates Vivacious 4Ply; *100% Superwash Merino (Fingering Weight) 399 yds (365 m) / 100 g* 1019 (1130, 1235, 1341, 1452) (1552, 1664, 1769, 1880) yds 255 (283, 310, 336, 364) (389, 417, 443, 471) g 932 (1033, 1130, 1226, 1328) (1420, 1521, 1618, 1719) m 3 (3, 4, 4, 4) (4, 5, 5, 5) hanks in Peacock Yarn B: Fyberspates Cumulus; *74% Baby Suri Alpaca, 26% Mulberry Silk (Lace Weight) 164 yds (150 m) / 25 g* 926 (1027, 1123, 1219, 1320) (1411, 1513, 1608, 1709) yds 141 (157, 171, 186, 201) (215, 231, 245, 261) g 847 (939, 1027, 1114, 1207) (1290, 1383, 1471, 1563) m 6 (7, 7, 8, 9) (9, 10, 10, 11) balls in Sugar Violets **SHORT SLEEVE** HiKoo by Skacel Sueño; *80% Superwash Merino, 20% Viscose from Bamboo (DK Weight) 255 yds (233 m) / 100 g* 721 (805, 883, 960, 1044) (1118, 1202, 1279, 1363) yds 283 (316, 347, 377, 410) (439, 472, 502, 535) g 659 (736, 807, 878, 955) (1022, 1099, 1170, 1246) m 3 (4, 4, 4, 5) (5, 5, 6, 6) hanks in Plum **Gauge:** Using US 7 (4.5 mm) needles: 21 sts x 27 rnds in stockinette in the round = 4 in x 4 in (10 cm x 10 cm) after blocking Chart Motif Gauge: Using US 7 (4.5 mm) needles: One Body Chart repeat is approx. 2.4 in (6 cm) tall and 6 in (15.5 cm) wide. **Sizes:** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) **Finished Bust Circumference:** 35.25 (39, 43, 46.75, 50.5) (54.25, 58, 62, 65.75) in 88 (97.5, 107.5, 117, 126.5) (136, 145.5, 155, 164.5) cm *This top is designed to be worn with approximately 1-5 in (2.5-12.5 cm) positive ease.
