— for the sample, I knit a size 45 when I am usually a 40-42 bust. If you want it more fitted, choose a size closer to your normal bust size —

This pattern starts with a split hem, and is worked bottom up. The latvian braid tows are repeated 3 times across the bust, before the boat neck is finished and cap sleeves added. This is an easy pattern to adjust the length of, as well as the sleeves.
