Look At My Holes Boxy

Look At My Holes Boxy is an oversized, flowy box top perfect for the beach and stylish enough for everywhere else too. It is knit top down, features a simple boat neck that is easily customized to get the perfect on or off the shoulder look, and a split hem plus twisted ribbing add a special finishing touch. Large needles, low yardage, and plenty of plain knit rows make this a quick and satisfying knit.

YARN

Kelbourne Woolens Mojave- sport weight, 185 yds (169

meters), 50 grams, 60% cotton, 40% linen. Sample knit

in the colorway 430 Electric Blue.

SIZING

XS(S, M, L, XL) (XXL, 3X, 4X, 5X)

To fit a chest circumference of:

30(34, 38, 42, 46) (50, 54, 58, 62)“

76 (86.5, 96.5, 106.5, 117)(127, 137, 147.5, 157.5)cm

Garment is designed to be worn with 0-30” (0-76 cm) of

positive ease in the chest and has a finished chest and

body circumference of:

48(50.25, 54.75, 59.5, 64) (66.25, 70.75, 75.5, 80)”

122 (127.5, 139, 151, 162.5)(168.5, 179.5, 192, 203) cm

Rather than choosing a size based on your chest

circumference, I recommend choosing a size based on

your desired wingspan (where you want your sleeves to

hit your arms) The top has a finished wingspan of:

26(27.25, 29.5, 31.75, 34) (35.25, 37.5, 39.75, 42)”

66 (69, 75, 80.5, 86.5)(89.5, 95.5, 101, 106.5) cm

People who typically knit XS or S may prefer sizing up for

more positive ease and a wider wingspan, and people

who typically knit 3X-5X may prefer sizing down for less

positive ease and a narrower wingspan. If your chest

and waist measurements are either very close or the

same, choose a size that is at least 4” (10 cm) larger

than your chest size. Mid-range sizes (M-XXL) I

recommend choosing a size with 10-20” positive ease at

the chest.

My chest circumference is 39” (99 cm) and I knit a size

M for 15.75” (40 cm) of positive ease.
