Is this the right project for me?

Finished size & fit

Sizes 1–9, with finished busts of approximately 95–175 cm (37½–69 in). Allow about 20 cm (8 in) of ease for the intended drape.

The sample combines two strands of laceweight linen with one strand of laceweight mohair-silk. The linen can be replaced with one fingering-weight strand. Use 2.5 and 3 mm circular needles, a 2.5 mm double-pointed needle, stitch markers and a tapestry needle.
