The #AlgaeBralette is a top worked in the round, bottom-up, with increases for bust shaping and i-cord edging. It is made-to-measure: starting from your underbust size you increase to a number of stitches based on your bust size. This makes the fit comfortable and cozy for everyone <3<3<3

Suggested for: confident beginners and intermediate knitters

SIZING & YARN ESTIMATION
There are 11 UNDERBUST sizes to which the pattern subtracts 25% of negative ease:
Underbust size (cm), Garment size (cm) (don’t worry it will be very stretchy!)
65, 48
(70), 52
75, 56
(80), 60
85, 63
(90), 67
95, 71
(100), 75
105, 78
(110), 82
115, 86
Based on this, you will increase the stitch number until it fits your BUST. The length of the top can be easily modified using a provisional cast on. You can measure the length of a top you like and knit that length.

The grams and meters used vary a lot based on your bust and underbust circumference, and on the length you decide to knit.
Between the 25 testers the range of yarn used is between:
30g/120m and 45g/450m
(check the tester’s gallery for more info about sizing and meterage)
