The sizes correspond with a bust circumference of (80-85, 85-90, 90-95)(95-100, 100-110, 110-120) cm or approx. (31.5-33.5, 33.5-35.5, 35.5-37.5)(37.5-39.5, 39.5-43.5, 43.5-47.25) inches.

The Kira Top is designed to have 10-20 cm / 4-8 inches of negative ease for a form fitting look. When choosing your size I recommend picking a size 10-20 cm / 4-8 inches smaller than your bust circumference depending on your preferred fit. If you prefer a looser fit size up.

YARN & ALTERNATIVES
The sample top is knit in Drops Flora shade brown. For this top I recommend any fingering weight yarn. You may also want to use another fibre such as cotton for a light weight feel.
You will need approx. (150, 150, 150)(200, 250, 250)g of Drops Flora.
