Timeless and lightweight piece inspired by a linen jumpsuit my mother used to wear when she was my age and that she now passed on to me. I love it so much that I immediately though: why not adapt it to a knitted fabric?!

ATTENTION This pattern gives you the possibility of choosing different sizes for each part of the garment throughout the instructions. You can also choose to make any leg length you prefer. Just be aware that the yarn estimated might change a lot.
Recommended ease: 20 cm positive ease for the hips, neutral or slightly negative ease for the waist and bust.

SIZE GUIDE- mix and match
XS (S, M, L, XL) - bigger sizes available, unfortunetly I couldn’t find testers. If you want to knit a bigger size send e-mail to limaknits.knitdesign@gmail.com
Final piece measurements:
Hips 108 (114, 120, 130, 140) cm or 42.5 (45, 47, 51, 55)’’
Waist 70 (76, 85, 92, 100) cm or 28 (30.5, 33.5, 36, 40)’’
Bust 84 (90, 100, 110, 120) cm or 33.5 (35, 40, 43, 47)’’

YARN
Approximately 9 (9, 10, 12, 13) skeins of Tricot Baby+ yarn from Croché Estrela 50g- 105m DK 100% OEKO-TEX certified cotton (color use on the prototype: 82). These amounts might change with mix and match sizes being very apart from each other or if you wish to knit more on the adaptable sections than the average tester.

You can use any similar yarn to match the gauge.

NEEDLES & OTHER
A pair of 4 mm (US 6) needles; a pair of 3mm (US 2.5) needles; 60–80 cm, 24-31 inch cables; 9 stitch markers; 1 unique m for the BOR; extra cables; waste yarn; a tapestry needle to weave in the ends and 3 (3, 3, 4, 4)buttons or press studs (mandatory for when changing sizes between waist and bust)

GAUGE
23sts & 30 rows in 10x10cm worked in stockinette stitch with 4mm neddles, before and after blocking. You may need to adjust the sizing of your needles in order to meet the gauge. If working with a different yarn always match your gauge after blocking.
