Wharf Street is knit seamlessly from the bottom-up. Front and Back are separated at the underarms and worked flat up to the top. Shoulders are then attached using the Three Needle Bind-off technique. Neck and armhole trim are created by picking-up stitches and working in rib stitch.
SIZES:
1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
Designer note: I knit up 2 samples to show the difference in ease amounts and how the amount of ease you pick just depends on how you want to wear it. In the white version I’m wearing it with 4” of positive ease (so a closer fit) and in the orange version I’m wearing it with 8” of positive ease (for a more layered look).
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:
33 (37, 41, 45, 49) (53, 57, 61, 65, 69)” or 84 (94, 104, 114, 124) (135, 145, 155, 165, 175) cm
Picking Your Size:
I suggest picking a size whose finished body circumference is approx 4-9”/10-23 cm larger than your actual bust circumference, depending on your desired fit.
GAUGE:
16 stitches & 26 rounds = 4”/10 cm in box st patt in the rnd on body needle after blocking.
For Three Needle BO: extra US 8/5 mm circ (or same size used to get gauge), in either 24”/60 cm or 32”/80 cm length,
For Neck & Armhole Trim: US 7/4.5 mm 16”/40 cm circ, or 1 needle size smaller than that used to get gauge.
• Stitch markers.
• Stitch holders or scrap yarn.
• Tapestry needle.
ERRATA: In version 1.2, for sizes 7-10, there is step 1 of the Underarm Divide. Step 1 should read as follows:
BO the first 2 (2, 2, 2, 2) (2, 6, 6, 6, 6) sts kwise, then k1, p2, k2 until you have 62 (70, 78, 86, 94) (102, 102, 110, 118, 126) sts on RN since bind-off at beg of rnd, then k 2 (2, 2, 2, 2) (2, 6, 6, 6, 6) - these sts just worked are your Front sts.
