Construction notes: 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.
SKILL LEVEL:
Advanced beginner
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:
Designer suggests 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 stitch pattern in the round on body needle after blocking.
