Note that the smaller sizes contain less ease than the larger sizes. I chose to use relative ease for this design due to the stretchy nature of the lace fabric. To choose a size, select the finished garment measurement closest to your upper chest measurement. This is the circumference measurement of your chest right below your armpits, but above the fullest part of your chest. For smaller sizes, choosing the size closest to your full chest measurement will work fine.
There is a lot of flexibility to size up or down with this design. Adjustments for bicep fit and yoke depth can be made easily by changing cast-on and armhole pickup numbers.
Construction
This design is knit seamlessly from the top down flat for the front and back sections and in the round for the body. Stitches are cast on and picked up for the sleeves. Shoulder finishing is picked up from neckline, upper body, and sleeves.
