The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm [29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼-51¼) 51¼-55 (55-59) inches]. The measurements for the finished top can be found on the front page of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the correct gauge is maintained throughout). Measure yourself before beginning your project, to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S top has a bust circumference of 84 cm [33 inches] which in the given example would give you 6 cm [2½ inches] of negative ease.

What began as a small line of baby and toddler knitting patterns grew into a full range of designs for children and adults, and in 2016, the family launched their own yarn, starting with Merino and later expanding to include Soft Silk Mohair, Pure Silk, No Waste Wool, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eEthical production sits at the core of the brand. Knitting for Olive is certified to the Responsible Wool Standard and Responsible Mohair Standard, meaning their wool and mohair can be traced from farm to finished yarn, and their silk is produced cruelty-free using threads from cocoons the silkworms have already left naturally. Their No Waste Wool range even reuses excess wool fibres that would otherwise be discarded during yarn production, blended with Merino for durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBeyond yarn and patterns, the company has a strong focus on social responsibility, regularly donating proceeds from sales to humanitarian causes and charitable initiatives.

What began as a small line of baby and toddler knitting patterns grew into a full range of designs for children and adults, and in 2016, the family launched their own yarn, starting with Merino and later expanding to include Soft Silk Mohair, Pure Silk, No Waste Wool, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eEthical production sits at the core of the brand. Knitting for Olive is certified to the Responsible Wool Standard and Responsible Mohair Standard, meaning their wool and mohair can be traced from farm to finished yarn, and their silk is produced cruelty-free using threads from cocoons the silkworms have already left naturally. Their No Waste Wool range even reuses excess wool fibres that would otherwise be discarded during yarn production, blended with Merino for durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBeyond yarn and patterns, the company has a strong focus on social responsibility, regularly donating proceeds from sales to humanitarian causes and charitable initiatives. With its roots in Copenhagen and two physical stores in Denmark, Knitting for Olive has grown into a brand trusted by knitters worldwide for combining quality natural fibres with genuine care for animals, workers and the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knitting For Olive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58403078340989,"sku":null,"price":75.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/7376\/8740\/files\/its-not-a-sweatshirt-knitting-kit-free-pattern-kfo-yarn-knit-with-me-7520247.jpg?v=1785854610"},{"product_id":"baby-bear-suit-knitting-kit-pattern-and-yarn","title":"Baby Bear Suit Knitting Kit | Pattern and KFO Yarn","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBaby Bear Suit Knitting Kit | Pattern \u0026amp; Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino Yarn \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaby Bear Suit is a roomy and cosy all-in-one suit with a hood that features cute little bear ears.
