Recommended needles
Circular needles 3 mm [US2] 80 cm [32 inches].
Crochet hook 2,5 mm for the edges.
Gauge
28 sts x 36 rows in St st = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] on 3 mm [US2] needles. Measured after washing.
Construction note
The top is knitted top-down in stockinette stitch. Begin by knitting the 4 triangles (2 for the front piece and 2 for the back piece). They are then put on the same circular needle and the body is knitted in the round. It ends at the bottom with a crocheted edge. Finally, crochet straps and edges along the top edge.
Fit
The bust circumference of the top is intended to be approx. 0-5 cm [0-2 inches] less than your own bust circumference (negative ease 0-5 cm [0-2 inches]). Measure your bust circumference (or the widest part of your torso). If you measure e.g. 92 cm [36 inches], you must subtract 0-5 cm [0- 2 inches] from this measurement to find the suitable circumference of the top. The result is 87-92 cm [34-36 inches]. Therefore choose size M, which has an bust circumference of 91 cm [35,75 inches], this gives a negative ease of 1 cm [0,5 inches].
