Throw it on over a tank for a day of iced coffee, card games, and gossip in the park with friends, then button it up and tuck it in for a cute date at the bowling alley or a sunset stroll down the boardwalk. Knit seamlessly from the top-down, the pattern features an extremely simple eyelet lace pattern, European drop shoulders, and a buttonband worked as you go. → [Click here to download a free preview with all the pattern details][3], including sizing information, yarn requirements, gauge and needles, and a full schematic. <hr> . ݁₊ ⊹ ₊ ݁. <big><big>SIZING</big></big> **FINISHED BUST/CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE:** **In inches:** (36.25, 40.75, 45) \[51.5, 56, 59.25\] {63.5, 68, 72.25} **In centimeters:** (90.5, 101.5, 112.5) \[129, 140, 148\] {159, 170, 180.5} To choose your size, measure the circumference of your torso around the fullest part of your bust/chest and choose a size that fits with 6-10"/15-25cm of positive ease at the bust/chest. *Please note that the widest part of the sleeve will hit the bicep at a lower point in the larger sizes, so there will appear to be slightly more ease than indicated by measurements.* *In the photos, Jaq (they/them) is wearing is size 7 (63.5"/145cm) with 8"/20cm of positive ease at the chest and 1"/2.5cm of ease at the bicep.* <hr> . ݁₊ ⊹ ₊ ݁. <big><big>GAUGE, NEEDLES, NOTIONS</big></big> **Gauge:** 22 sts and 36 rows over 4”/10cm in lacy ribbing **Recommended needles:** US 4 (3.75mm) 32”/80cm circular **Notions:** darning needle, 10 15mm buttons <hr> . ݁₊ ⊹ ₊ ݁. <big><big>YARN</big></big> Bocce was designed in Lang Yarns Baby Cotton Natural Colored Sport.
