Camisole No. 9 is a classic top designed from the premise of ’less is more’.
It has a tight fit, with few, but distinctive details that add character.
The top is worked from the top down, which gives you the opportunity to adjust the length to suit you.
SIZES
XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL)
MEASUREMENTS
Circumference: 69 (73) 78 (85) 93 (99) 107 (114) cm [27.25 (28.75) 30.75 (33.5) 36.5 (39) 42.25 (44.75) inches]
Length, measured below the armhole: 28 (29) 31 (33) 34 (35) 36 (37) cm [11 (11.5) 12.25 (13) 13.5 (13.75) 14.25 (14.5) inches].
Size guide
Camisole No. 9 is designed to have a negative ease of approx. 12-15 cm [4.75-6 inches].
The sizes suit a bust circumference of approx. 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) cm [31.5-33.5 (33.5-35.5) 35.5-37.5 (37.5-39.5) 39.5-43.25 (43.25-47.25) 47.25-51.25 (51.25-55) inches].
Measure yourself before you begin to ensure that you choose the right size. For example, your chest circumference is 88 cm [34.75 inches] - 12/15 cm [4.75/6 inches] = 76-73 cm [30-28.75 inches]. Meaning you would choose a size S. If you are in between sizes, choose the smaller size.
SUGGESTED NEEDLES
3 mm [US 2.5] circular needles (60, 80 or 100 cm [24, 32 or 40 inches])
2.5 mm [US 1.5] circular needles (60, 80 or 100 cm [24, 32 or 40 inches])
2 mm [US 0] circular needles (60, 80 or 100 cm [24, 32 or 40 inches])
I recommend using metal circular needles, as they result in a neater/more even finish.
