This pattern has been technically edited and test knitted.

Doll Bustier is a chunky bustier knitted with super bulky yarn that highlights the beautiful texture of hand knitting.
The bustier is worked from the bottom up. First the body is worked in the round in moss stitch and cable pattern to the top edge. Then with the shoulder strap stitches left on the needles, the top edge is bound off. Finally, the straps are worked and grafted using Kitchener stitch.

Size Guide
Doll Bustier is designed to have approx. 15-20 cm (6-7.75 inches) of negative ease at your bust. It will stretch 5-10 cm (2-4 inches) with wear and end up with 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) negative ease. The shoulder straps are set wide apart across the upper chest, creating extra ease when worn.
The sizes 1 (2, 3, 4) 5 are designed to fit respectively a bust
circumference about 79-84 (84-89) 89-94 (94-99) 99-104 cm (31-33 (33-35, 35-37, 37-39) 39-41 inches).
If you prefer a looser fit, I recommend choosing one size larger.


Doll Bustier は極太糸で編まれたバルキーなビスチェです。手編みならではの素朴な風合いが際立つようにデザインしました。
編み方は、ボトムアップで編んでいきます。まず、身頃を裾から上端までモスステッチとケーブル編みで輪に編みます。次に、肩紐の目を針に残しながら、身頃の上端を伏せ止めし、最後に肩紐を往復編みで編んで、メリヤスはぎでつなぎ合わせます。

サイズガイド
推奨のゆとり: 胸囲に対しマイナス15-20cm
着用すると5-10cmほど伸びるため、最終的にはマイナス10-15cmとなる。肩紐は胸囲上部で大きく開いており、着用時に適度なゆとりが生まれる。
1 (2, 3, 4) 5 はそれぞれ、実際の胸囲 79-84 (84-89) 89-94 (94-99) 99-104 cmに合うように設計されている。
大きめのゆとりで着用したい場合は、ワンサイズ上にするとよい。
