The construction begins with the turtleneck, worked in the round. The Front Neck shaping is achieved with short rows for a more comfortable and flattering fit, then finished with a neat double-knit band. After the neck shaping is completed, the Front and Back are worked separately in rows, with halter-style shaping across the yoke. The pieces are then joined at the underarm and the body is worked seamlessly in the round to the hem. **Sizes** 1 (2, 3, 4) [5, 6, 7, 8] to fit chest circumference of 32 (36, 40, 44) [48, 52, 56, 60] " / 81 (91, 102, 112) [122, 132, 142, 152] cm **Finished Measurements** Chest circumference: 31¼ (34, 39¾, 43) [46, 49½, 55, 57¾] " 78.5 (85, 99, 108) [115, 123.5,137.5,144.5] cm * to be worn with 0 to 2½" / 0 to 6 cm of negative ease at the bust * Sample shown is size 2 - worn with 2" / 5 cm of negative ease **Materials** Sport weight yarn approximately 465 (535, 640, 710) [760, 815, 955, 1000] yards/ 425 (490, 585, 655) [695, 750, 875, 920] meters or 4 (5, 6,6) [7, 7, 8, 9] balls of Bamboulène by Cheval Blanc (50% Cotton; 50% Rayon from Bamboo; 120 yd / 110 m per 50 g ball) Size 2 sample shown in Taupe (304) * US 3 / 3.25 mm 16" / 40 cm and 32" / 80 cm circular needles If necessary, adjust needle size to obtain accurate gauge * 2 stitch markers, tapestry needle **Gauge** finished (post-blocked) gauge 23 sts and 32 rounds = 4" /10 cm in Rib 2x2 **Pattern Difficulty** Adventurous Beginner / Intermediate **Skills Required** Alternate Cable Cast-on, knit, purl, basic increasing and decreasing, short rows, Italian Tubular Bind-off *All special techniques used in this pattern are fully explained in the instructions and/or accompanied by links to video tutorials.* [1]: https://mailchi.mp/ad24644a15d2/katytricotknits
