All measurements are of the finished garment, after washing and blocking.

Choosing your size
Odette is sized from your upper bust — measured directly below the underarms, above the fullest part of the bust — because that is where the halter hangs.

Aim for a finished bust about 5 cm (2") smaller than your upper bust and choose the size closest to that target.

Example: if your upper bust measures 88 cm (34¾"), 88 − 5 = 83 cm (32¾") — size M (finished 85 cm / 33½") is the closest match. If you're between sizes, consider sizing down.

The model has a 78 cm (30¾") full bust and wears size XXS with 8 cm (3¼") of negative ease at the full bust.

The pattern includes guides for fine-tuning the upper bust, adding width for the full bust (increases and optional bust darts), and adjusting the underarm depth and body length.

Gauge
22 sts × 31 rows = 10 × 10 cm [4 × 4 inches] in stockinette on 4 mm needles, after washing and blocking.

Needles
2 sets of 4 mm [US 6] circular needles (80–120 cm depending on size) — the second holds the neckband fold during the join · 3.5 mm [US 4] circular for the neckband cast-on and the twisted-rib hem · 3.5 mm [US 4] DPNs for the I-cord ribbon

Yarn
Suggestion 1 (sample): Line by Sandnes Garn (53% cotton, 33% viscose, 14% linen), single strand — 200 (250) 250 (300) 300 (350) 400 (400) 450 (500) g.

Suggestion 2: Tynn Line by Sandnes Garn (53% cotton, 33% viscose, 14% linen), two strands held together — same gram amounts as Line.

Suggestion 3: Oat Cotton by Ancalls (100% cotton) — 150 (200) 200 (200) 200 (250) 250 (300) 300 (350) g.

Any worsted- or DK-weight cotton or linen blend that meets gauge — about 440–1100 m [≈ 480–1200 yds] depending on size.
