Pattern Overview
- Skill Level: 4 out of 5 (Advanced)
- Size Range: XXS to 5XL
- Construction: This garment is worked seamlessly from the top down in classic stockinette stitch. You begin by working the back yoke flat, using short rows to craft perfectly contoured shoulder slopes. Stitches are then picked up along the cast-on edges to form the left and right front shoulders, which are worked flat with regular increases to shape the dramatic slanted front panels. Once the armholes are established, the body is knit back and forth as one piece, while the sleeves are worked in the round. Finally, beautiful double-knitted ties are worked directly into the picked-up front edge borders for a perfectly secure, couture-level finish.
Sizing & Fit Guide
The Lucy Wrap is specifically designed to have approximately 7 cm of negative ease, meaning the finished garment is intended to be slightly smaller than your actual body circumference so it stretches into a flawlessly smooth, form-fitting contour.
To find your perfect size, measure around the widest part of your bust and match your body measurement to the chart below.
| Size | To Fit Bust Circumference (cm) | Finished Half-Chest Width (cm) | Back Length (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| XXS | 75–80 | 36.5 | 48 |
| XS | 80–85 | 38.5 | 50 |
| S | 85–90 | 41.0 | 51 |
| M | 90–95 | 43.5 | 52 |
| L | 95–100 | 46.0 | 52 |
| XL | 100–110 | 48.5 | 53 |
| 2XL | 110–120 | 54.0 | 55 |
| 3XL | 120–130 | 58.5 | 56 |
| 4XL | 130–140 | 63.5 | 58 |
| 5XL | 140–150 | 69.0 | 59 |
Total length is measured down the centre back of the garment, excluding the neckband finishing.
Gauge & Suggested Tools
- Gauge: 23 sts x 33 rows = 10 x 10 cm in stockinette stitch on 3.5 mm needles after washing and blocking. (Note: Keeping a precise gauge is absolutely essential for a fitted, negative-ease garment).
- Suggested Needles: 3.5 mm circular needles (lengths: 60, 80 and/or 100 cm) and 2.5 mm circular needles (lengths: 60, 80 and/or 100 cm).
- Double-Pointed Needles: 3.5 mm DPNs (only required if you choose not to use the Magic Loop technique for the sleeves).
Yarn Requirements
To achieve a signature airy, sheer fabric with a luxurious brushed halo, this wrap blouse is worked using fine lace-weight summer fibers. The project is designed to be worked by holding two strands of lace-weight yarn together throughout, or a single strand of ultra-premium fine fiber.
The combined estimated purchasing allowance across all sizes runs from roughly 1,696 to 2,756 meters total, depending on the size chosen. Always check your selected yarn's ball band specs to calculate the exact ball count for your size, and grab a little extra to account for personal gauge variations or swatching.
Crucial Swatching Tip
Do not skip making a gauge swatch, and make sure to wash and block it before taking your measurements. Fine brushed lace fibers grow and relax dramatically after a wash. Swatching post-wash guarantees that your stitches settle precisely into the required 23-stitch gauge so your wrap hugs your frame perfectly without pulling tight or sagging out of shape.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Are the wrap ties knitted separately and sewn on later?
Not at all. The elegant wrap ties use double-knitting for a structural, non-curling finish and are knitted together simultaneously with stitches picked up directly along the slanted front panels. This creates an incredibly strong connection that won't distort under tension and keeps the garment entirely seamless. -
What does "half-chest width" mean in the size guide?
Because this is an open-front wrap design rather than a closed pullover, the designer measures the garment flat across the back from armpit to armpit. Doubling this half-chest number gives you the absolute maximum circumference of the fabric, which intentionally runs smaller than your bust to stretch nicely over your curves. - Is there any seaming required at the end?
None. Thanks to the clever top-down raglan setup and picked-up edgings, the entire blouse is formed in one seamless piece. Once you finish binding off the cuffs and ties, your only finishing homework is weaving in your loose yarn ends.
