Ada Bikini Top

**THIS PRODUCT IS A DIGITAL KNITTING PATTERN. NO PATTERN REFUND WILL BE MADE.** **ABOUT THE PATTERN** The Ada Bikini Top is worked sideways in garter stitch. It is knit using Lycra yarn, a highly elastic fiber specifically designed for activewear and swimwear. This means you can safely swim in your finished bikini top. Please note: This pattern is designed to be used exclusively with Chamade Knitwear’s Lycra yarn. Substituting with any other yarn is not recommended and will not produce the intended fit or functionality. This pattern is suitable for advanced beginners. **SIZES** XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) Sizes above correspond with the following measurements : Chest Circumference: 78-82 (82-86) 86-94 (94-102) 102-110 (110-118) 118-126 (126-134) cm. Measure your own chest circumference to determine which size will fit you the best. Photos above: I’m wearing size XS / 168 cm tall / Chest: 80 cm **MEASUREMENTS** The Ada Bikini Top has approximately 40 cm of negative ease measured around the bust. Meaning it is 40 cm smaller in circumference than your actual chest circumference. The negative ease may seem extreme at first glance. Keep in mind that the yarn is highly elastic and stretches significantly when worn. **YARNS AND MATERIALS** *Use the code LEPULL10 on www.chamade.paris.fr to get 10% off the yarn.* Approx. 60 (60) 60 (60) 90 (90) 90 (90) m of CONTREPOINT N°1 from Chamade Knitwear (73% polyamid, 27% Lycra) The color i’ve used to knit the Ada Bikini Top on the picture above is no longer available.
