Suggested fabrics: This pattern works best with light- to medium-weight knit fabrics like cotton jersey, ponte, French terry, and stable sweater knits. Very drapey fabrics are less suitable for this style.

Fabric requirements: 58″ (147 cm) wide fabric: View A, 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 yd (1.4 - 1.6 m) // View B, 1 1/2 - 2 yd (1.4 - 1.8 m) // View C, 1 3/4 - 2 1/2 yd (1.6 - 2.3 m).

Sizing: XXS - XXL (approx. UK 6 – 20, based on our standardised size chart) with A/B, C and D cups. Please also check the designer’s size chart and finished garment measurements.

To determine cup size, subtract upper bust measurement from full bust measurement. Up to 2″ difference = A/B cup, 3″ = C cup, 4″ = D cup.

Notions: Coordinating thread; featherweight fusible interfacing; four 1" buttons (View A).
