Secondly the back panel is knit in the main colour. The shoulders are joined using the three needle bind off. The sides are seamed using mattress stitch. Lastly, stitches are picked up around the arm and neck holes and the ribbing is worked in the round. **Sizes:** XS - 5XL to fit a bust circumference of:80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cms. 31.5-33.5 (33.5-35.5) 35.5-37.5 (37.5-39.5) 39.5-43.25 (43.25-47.25) 47.25-51.25 (51.25-55) 55-59 inches. **Fit:** to be worn with approximately 7 cms / 3 inches of positive ease. **Measurements:** bust circumference: 88 (93) 98 (103) 113 (123) 133 (143) 153 cms.34.6 (36.6) 38.6 (40.6) 44.5 (48.4) 52.4 (56.3) 60.2 inches.
