Lucy Wrap

The Lucy Wrap is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch. First, the back yoke is worked back and forth and shaped using short rows. Then stitches are picked up and knitted for the shoulders, and the yoke is worked back and forth with increases for the slanted front edges. The body is also worked back and forth with increases for the slanted front edges. The sleeves are worked in the round in stockinette stitch. At the end, double knitted ties are worked and knitted together with stitches that are picked up and knitted along the slanted front edges of the wrap blouse. Knit a swatch to determine which needle size gives you the correct gauge. Wash the swatch before measuring the gauge as the recommended yarn grows with wash and wear. **Size guide** The Lucy Wrap is designed to have approx. 7 cm \[2¾ inches\] of negative ease, meaning it is designed to be approx. -7 cm \[-2¾ inches\] smaller in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95 100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm \[29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼-51¼) 51¼-55 (55-59) inches\]. The measurements for the finished wrap blouse can be found on the front page of the pattern. Please note that these measurements only apply if the correct gauge is maintained throughout. Measure yourself before beginning your project to determine which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 89 cm \[35 inches\] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body), you should knit a size S. A size S wrap blouse has a half bust circumference of 41 cm \[16¼ inches\] (equivalent to a bust circumference of 82 cm \[32½ inches\]) which in this example would give you 7 cm \[2½ inches\] of negative ease.
