The **Lilly Vest** is worked from top down. First, the back yoke is worked in pattern, back and forth, shaped with increases. Then each shoulder is worked separately, from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the top of the back yoke. **Size guide** The Lilly Vest is designed to have approx. 7-8 cm [2¾ -3¼ in] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be, 7-8 cm [2¾ -3¼ in] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ in] around your bust, you should knit a size S. A size S sweater has a chest circumference of 97 cm [38¼ in] which in the given example will give you 7 cm [2¾ in] of positive ease. **Gauge** 26 sts х 36 rows = 10 cm х 10 cm with 3 mm [US2.5] needles in stockinette stitches after blocking. **Needles** Main - 3 mm [US2.5] circular needles; for ribbing – 2,5 mm [US1½] circular needles. **Materals** *Suggestion 1:* 150 (150; 200; 200) (250; 250; 300) g Merci by Filcolana (200 m/50 g) *or* Siulas (300 m/100 g) *Suggestion 2*: 150 (150; 150; 200) (200; 250; 250) g Anina by Filcolana (210 m/50 g) or Ecopuno by Lana Grossa (215 m/50 g) 6-8 bottoms Ø 15 mm **Sizes** XS (S; M; L) (XL; 2XL; 3XL) XS - chest circumference 80-85 cm 31½-33½ in S - 85-90 cm 33½-35½ in M - 90-95 cm 35½-37½ in L - 95-100 cmm 37½-39½ in XL - 100-110 cm 39½-43¼ in XXL - 110-120 cm 43¼-47¼ in 3XL - 120-130 cm 47¼-51¼ in
