>**Sign up for the [Knitosophy Newsletter][1] to receive my greatest discounts right in your inbox!** **View modeled video on Youtube [here][2].** **INTRO** Everyone needs a racerback for the knit wardrobe, am I right?! For this design I opted for a wavy, chevron lace for only the back of the garment to create a unique look and cool feel while also maintaining an interesting and distinctive knitting process. Wear it over your favorite strappy dress, or opt for a camisole or cute sports bra to enhance your look. **SIZES 1-10 (Scroll down to see info for Sizes 11-20)** **SIZING** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9, 10) **To fit chest circ** 28 (30, 32, 34, 36) (38, 40, 42, 44, 46)” / 70 (75, 80, 85, 90) (95, 100, 105, 110, 115) cm **Finished chest circ** 29 (31.25, 33.25, 35, 37.25) (39, 41.25, 43, 45.25, 47)” / 72.5 (78, 83, 87.5, 93) (97.5, 103, 107.5, 113, 117.5) cm Intended to fit with 1-1.25” / 2.5-3 cm of positive ease in the chest.
