Skill Level: Easy

Size: Finished Bust Size XS (S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X)

30 (33¾, 37½, 42¼, 46½, 50½, 53 ½)” to fit bust 30 (34, 38, 42, 46, 50, 54)”

Shown in size S

Gauge: 21 sts and 11 rows = 4” [10 cm] in dc after wet blocking

Materials

Yarn: Katia Basic Merino (52% Merino superwash, 48% acrylic; 131 yards [120 meters]/50 grams): 41 Mustard (10 (11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17) balls)

Hook/Needles: US size G/6 (4 mm)

Notions: Removable markers, tapestry needle

Special Stitches

Chainless starting double crochet (csdc): Pull up the loop on the hook to the height of a normal dc, hold the yarn to the hook with your finger so it doesn’t move, yo with the stretched loop, yo with the working yarn, draw through 1 loop, yo, draw through 2 loops.

Pattern Notes

• This pattern is worked in the round from the top down.
• Use st marker to mark where to dec/inc on the body and sleeves.
• When working FPtr, make sure the height equals the dc on the same rnd.
