Fit & Yarn Details
Choose a 12 ply / aran weight mohair yarn or something with lots of fuzz. We stock and recommend Sesia Eiffel, Cricca Nimbus, and Touch Yarns Mohair.
Size C is worn in all the photos here with approx 40 cm / 16" of ease. Designed to be worn with 15-40 cm / 6-16" of positive ease, depending on your fit preference. Sizes read as A (B, C) (D, E, F).
Finished bust measurements: cm = 116 (127, 138) (149, 160, 171) / inches = 45.75 (50, 54.5) (58.75, 63, 67.25)"
Yarn quantity: metres = 600 (650, 680) (740, 750, 800) / yards = 655 (700, 740) (800, 820, 870)
Needles: 9 mm (US 13) circular needle (or size to obtain gauge) with a suggested 80 cm (40") long cord AND 6 mm (US 10) circular needle with a suggested 80 cm (40") cord. NOTE: the sleeves and neckline are worked using the magic loop method, but you can also opt for a shorter cord or DPNs.
Gauge: 11 sts x 13 rows = 10 cm x 10cm / 4"x4" square in stockinette stitch. If you have too many stitches across your 10 cm / 4" space, you need to go up one (or more) needle size. If you have less stitches than needed, you'll have to go down a needle size.
