Algae Bralette

The #AlgaeBralette is a top worked in the round, bottom-up, with increases for bust shaping and i-cord edging. It is made-to-measure: starting from your underbust size you increase to a number of stitches based on your bust size. This makes the fit comfortable and cozy for everyone <3<3<3 Suggested for: confident beginners and intermediate knitters MATERIALS Needles: 3mm circular needles (40, 60cm) Gauge: 30 stitches X 48 rows = 10X10 cm in stockinette on 3mm needles Yarn: Malagbrigo Sock (100g/402m, sock/fingering) Tapestry needle Tape measure 7 stitch markers Scrap yarn SIZING & YARN ESTIMATION There are 11 UNDERBUST sizes to which the pattern subtracts 25% of negative ease: Underbust size (cm), Garment size (cm) *(don’t worry it will be very stretchy!)* 65, 48 (70), 52 75, 56 (80), 60 85, 63 (90), 67 95, 71 (100), 75 105, 78 (110), 82 115, 86 Based on this, you will increase the stitch number until it fits your BUST. The length of the top can be easily modified using a provisional cast on. You can measure the length of a top you like and knit that length. The grams and meters used vary a lot based on your bust and underbust circumference, and on the length you decide to knit. Between the 25 testers the range of yarn used is between: 30g/120m and 45g/450m *(check the tester’s gallery for more info about sizing and meterage)* ABBREVIATIONS & TECHNIQUES (all linked in the pattern) K: knit P: purl st/sts: stitch/stitches M: marker M1R (make 1 right): lift the strand between stitches from back to front with the left needle and knit into the front of it to create a right-leaning increase.
