Knitting Kit - Audrey Top by Petiteknit

Pattern not included - you must purchase the pattern on Ravelry, see here. 

Pattern available in French and English. 

The Audrey Top is worked from the bottom up. The body is worked in the round in stockinette stitch, then the work is divided for the front and back, and each part is worked back and forth in stockinette stitch with decreases at the sides. The straps are worked in i-cord.

Start by knitting a swatch to determine the needle size that will give you the correct gauge. Wash the swatch, as the recommended yarns may stretch slightly when washed and worn.

Size guide

The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of:

• 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm
  [29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼-51¼) 51¼-55 (55-59) inches]

The Audrey Top is designed to have approximately 0-5 cm [0-2 inches] of positive ease, meaning it is intended to be slightly larger than your bust circumference.

Measure yourself before starting your project to choose the most suitable size. For example, if your bust circumference is 89 cm [35 inches] (or around the widest part of your upper body), you should knit a size S. A size S Audrey Top has a bust circumference of 90 cm [35½ inches], which in this example would give you 1 cm [½ inch] of positive ease.

The model in the photos is wearing a size XXS, with a bust circumference of 78 cm [30¾ inches] and is 164 cm [approx. 5 ft 4 inches] tall. The top in the photo has 2 cm [¾ inch] of positive ease.
