Snap Pea Top

The **Snap Pea Top** is worked from the top down in a cartridge rib stitch. First the back yoke is knit flat while short rows are worked to shape the shoulders. Then, each shoulder is picked up separately and worked flat with short rows before joining to form the front yoke. The front and back yoke are joined at the underarms to form the body, which is worked in the round. The collar is worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the neck opening. The armholes are finished with a built-in i-cord edge or can be picked up later for a stockinette edge. **SIZING** This pattern is graded to be [#sizeinclusive][1] and unisex. Fit I is graded based on a traditional women’s sizing chart and Fit II is graded based on a traditional men's sizing chart. Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6, 7) (8, 9, 10) **Fit I** Finished chest circumference: 75 (85, 95, 105) (115, 125, 135) (145, 155, 165) cm / 30 (34, 38, 42) (46, 50, 54) (58, 62, 66)” Shoulder width: 34 (36.5, 36.5, 39) (39, 41.5, 41.5) (44, 44, 46.5) cm / 13.5 (14.5, 14.5, 15.5) (15.5, 16.5, 16.5) (17.5, 17.5, 18.5)” Armhole height: 18 (19.5, 20, 20.5) (22, 23 23.5) (24.5, 25, 26) cm / 7.25 (7.75, 8, 8.25) (8.75, 9.25, 9.5) (9.75, 10, 10.5)” **Bust shaping** This pattern includes optional bust shaping. To determine if you need additional bust shaping, measure your high bust and full bust and calculate the difference. It’s better to have slightly too few short rows than slightly too many. If you are in-between or unsure, choose one cup size smaller. Cup size C/D - adds 2.5cm / 1” additional length Cup size E/F - adds 4.5 cm / 2” additional length Cup size G/H - adds 6 cm / 2.5” additional length **Fit II** Finished chest circumference: 75 (85, 95, 105) (115, 125, 135) (145, 155, 165) cm / 30 (34, 38, 42) (46, 50, 54) (58, 62, 66)” Shoulder width: 34 (36.5, 39, 41.5) (41.5, 44, 46.5) (46.5, 49, 51.5) cm / 13.5 (14.5, 15.5, 16.5) (16.5, 17.5, 18.5) (18.5, 19.5, 20.5)” Armhole height: 20 (20.5, 21.5, 22) (23.5, 24.5, 25) (26.5, 27.5, 28) cm / 8 (8.25, 8.5, 8.75) (9.5, 9.75, 10) (10.5, 11, 11.25)” **Ease** The recommended ease for this pattern is 0-5 cm / 0-2” positive ease for a relaxed fit. For a more fitted outcome you can choose a size up to 5cm / 2” negative ease. **YARN** Choose any dk or light worsted weight yarn or hold together two fingering weight yarns. My green sample was knit with Line by Sandnes Garn (50g = 110m) in color Matcha and my brown sample was knit with Pure Silk by Knitting for Olive (50g = 250m) held double in color Brown Bear. **YARDAGE** **Fit I** 200 (250, 250, 300) (300, 300, 350) (350, 450, 450) grams of the recommended yarn.
