Gauge: 28 stitches & 32 rows per 4” / 10 cm in 2x2 rib after blocking.

Yarn: Sample knitted in Knitting for olive pure silk (250m/50g)

Note: To achieve the drapey look of the sample knit, choose a yarn made with silk or a plant based fibre for example silk, linen or cotton. Wool blends may work but are likely to give a different look to the final garment.

Note: These yardages are for the recommended body length, if you make the top longer you will need additional yardage. If you make the higher V neck option you may also need slightly more yarn. If you use a yarn with different yardage per 100g make sure to purchase yarn based upon the total metres required.

Intermediate. This pattern requires only basic knit, purl and simple increase stitches. However other construction techniques are required including casting on additional stitches and picking up stitches in a rib pattern. The top is knitted for flat and in the round. Due to the small gauge of the pattern this may be tricky if you have never constructed a top down garment like this.
