SUPPLIES

Yarn: You’re going to need approx. 650-800 yards of worsted weight #4 Yarn for your Main Colour and 400-650 yards for your Accent Colour. I used ReSpun by LionBrand. It is a bit lighter weight then most number 4 yarns. If you use something like Red Heart Super Saver or a thicker weight yarn, make sure you use a bigger hook so that your work doesn’t end up too stiff.

5.00 mm or one that best suits your yarn choice.

Tapestry Needle for sewing in ends.

Scissors

Measuring Tape

SIZING
This top is completely size inclusive when many options for customization throughout. You will need to feel comfortable measuring your own body for this pattern.
Main measurements you will need are: Neck and Bust

GAUGE
No gauge is necessary for this pattern as it is made to measure. However, you’ll want to make sure your work isn’t too holey, or too stiff. You can do this by making a 4x4 swatch and feeling the drape.
