The Terese Top is a showy tank that rolls in a lot of drama for just a small amount of yarn. Knit from the bottom up, it features wide ribbing, a ruffled top, and i-cord straps.

There are plenty of mods described within the pattern to allow you to adapt the fit for your needs - including, full detail modifications for larger busts.

SIZES

Recommended sizing: choose a size that is relatively equal to the measurement of your upper chest (above the bust over the sternum) & allows for ~20” of positive ease in bust.

The above yardage recommendations are approximations. If working the Fuller Bust modifications, you will likely need more yarn.

Fuller bust modification:
This mod is optional. For those with cup sizes D & up it’s a recommended change to add more fabric to your top.
Completing this mod will add 10” to the bust circumference.
