FINISHED MEASUREMENTS Bust 36 (40, 44, 48, 52)" Length 19 (21, 22, 24, 26)”
GAUGE In 2x2 ribbing using size US 6 (4 mm) needles (after blocking), 16 sts and 24 rows = 4"/10 cm. IMPORTANT: Be sure to block your work before checking gauge.
STITCHES USED Reverse Stockinette stitch (Rev St st) Stockinette stitch (St st) p3tog: purl 3 stitches together (2 decreases made) 2x2 rib (multiple of 2 sts) Round 1 (RS): *K2, p2; repeat from * around. Round 2: Knit the knit sts and purl the purl sts as they face you. Rep Round 2 for 2x2 rib NOTES: When working a yarn over between a knit and purl stitch, no need to move the yarn over. For example, if you want to work a yarn over after a knit stitch but before a purl stitch: k1, leaving yarn in back, purl 1. By leaving the yarn in back before a purl stitch, the yarn will have to come across the needle and therefore make a yarn over.
