Sizes
Pick the size closest to your bust size. The pattern already accommodates for 4in/10cm of negative ease. If you are in between sizes, I recommend going up a size.
(30, 32, 34) (36, 38, 40) (42, 44) in, (76, 81, 86) (92, 97, 102) (107, 112)cm.
Yarn
A dk weight wool or wool blend that is soft enough to wear next to skin. In my sample, I used Malabrigo Dos Tierras (50% merino wool, 50% baby alpaca) in Aniversario as my MC and Arco Iris as my CC.
