DESCRIPTION

SPORTI is the sweet & sexy athleisure dreamknit your needles have been waiting for! This all-over ribbed tank is worked seamlessly, top-down, with instructions for optional bust darts. A matching shrug pattern is available separately to layer perfectly over the tank.

If you add this pattern and the shrug pattern to your cart and purchase both at the same time, you will receive 50% off the tank pattern. Please note that this promotion will not work if you purchase both patterns separately at different times.

SIZING

All of my garment patterns are #sizeinclusive to fit up to at least a 60”/150cm full chest circumference.

TO FIT UPPER BUST/CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE:
In inches: (30, 34, 38) [42, 46, 50] {54, 58, 62}
In centimeters: (75, 85, 95) [105, 115, 125] {135, 145, 155}

To choose your size, measure your upper bust/chest circumference (your chest right at your underarms).

In the pattern photos, Jacqui (they/she pronouns) is wearing a size 7 with 12”/30cm of negative ease and no bust darts.

YARN

Sporti was designed in The Wandering Flock Merino Fingering Singles, a 100% superwash merino single ply yarn. However, any wool or wool/blend fingering weight yarn should work, as long as the yarn offers some elasticity and you can achieve gauge with it.

YARN REQUIREMENTS:

(340, 390, 455) [510, 585, 665] {760, 865, 985} yards / (310, 355, 415) [465, 535, 610] {695, 790, 900} meters
