Lab Sea is intended to be worn with about 5 to 10cm / 2 to 4” of positive ease at bust, so I recommend that you choose a size which is around 5 to 10cm / 2 to 4” larger than your bust circumference. Sample shown is size 3, worn with about 13cm / 5” ease at bust on a 173cm / 68” tall woman.

Needles & Notions

The gauges were achieved with the following needle size. To work the pattern as written, you must swatch and use a needle size that will result in the correct gauge after blocking.

Size A: 3mm (US 2.5) preferred needles for working small circumferences (neck and cuff ribbing)
Size B: 3.5mm (US 4) circular needles of varying lengths for working the stockinette and lace

You will also need: stitch markers.
