The body is worked in the round in stockinette stitch, then the work is divided for front and back, and each section is worked back and forth in stockinette stitch with decreases along the sides. The straps are worked as an i-cord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart by knitting a swatch to determine which size needle gives you the correct gauge.

The Audrey Top is designed to have approx. 0-5 cm [0-2 inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be approx. 0-5 cm [0-2 inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. Measure yourself before beginning your project, to determine which size will fit you the 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 top has a bust circumference of 90 cm [35½ inches] which in the given example would give you 1 cm [½ inch] of positive ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSizes: \u003c\/b\u003eXXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBust circumference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 (85) 90 (95) 100 (110) 120 (130) 140 (150) cm [31½ (33½) 35½ (37½) 39½ (43¼) 47¼ (51¼) 55 (59) inches]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal length: \u003c\/strong\u003e45 (47) 50 (52) 56 (58) 60 (61) 63 (66) cm [17¾ (18½) 19¾ (20½) 22 (22¾) 23½ (24) 24¾ (26) inches]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 sts x 27 rows in stockinette stitch on a 4 mm [US6] = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circular needles: 4 mm [US6] \/ 60 or 80 cm [24 or 32 inches]; Circular or Double-pointed needles: 3 mm [US2½]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials: Suggestion 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 (200) 250 (300) 300\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cchrome_annotation role=\"link\"\u003e(350) 350-400\u003c\/chrome_annotation\u003e (400) 400 (450) g Sport\/5ply ( approx. 50 g = 178 m [195 yds]) (worked with two strands of yarn held together) \u003cstrong\u003eor\u003c\/strong\u003e 250 (250) 300 (350) 350\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cchrome_annotation role=\"link\"\u003e(400) 400-450\u003c\/chrome_annotation\u003e (450) 450 (500) g DK weight ( approx. 50 g = 165 m [180 yds]) (worked with two strands of yarn held together) \u003cstrong\u003eor\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 (150) 200\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cchrome_annotation role=\"link\"\u003e(200) 200-250\u003c\/chrome_annotation\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cchrome_annotation role=\"link\"\u003e(250) 250-300\u003c\/chrome_annotation\u003e (300) 300 (300-350) g Fingering\/4ply (approx. 50 g = 250 m [273 yds]) (worked with two strands of yarn held together)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggestion 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 (200) 250 (250-300) 300 (300) 350 (350) 400 (400) g Worsted\/10ply (approx. 50 g = 110 m [120 yds]) (worked with one strand)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e: ★ ★ ★ (3 out of 5)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester Wool \u0026 Yarn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57259700191563,"sku":null,"price":6.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0792\/9285\/8699\/files\/IMG-1660.png?v=1778411507","url":"https:\/\/manchesterwoolandyarn.com\/products\/audrey-top-petite-knit-patterns","provider":"Manchester Wool \u0026 Yarn ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
