Terra Top

**Now available not only in English, but also in German, Portuguese, Spanish, and French. Thank you [knitlingo](/people/knitlingo) for the excellent translations! ** The Terra top is a great addition to your summer wardrobe, and you can make it in just a few days. It is made from a cotton and linen blend. The top is worked bottom-up in the round up to the underarms. The body is divided at the armholes, and the front and back are finished separately. They are joined at the shoulders using the Kitchener Stitch method to create a seamless and smooth closure. Next, the neck edge and the armholes are created by picking up stitches and working in stockinette stitch and stretchy bind-off. **This pattern has been tech edited and test knitted.** SIZES XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL to fit chest circumference 71-76 (81-86) 91.5-96.5 (101.5-106.5) 111.5-117 (122-127) 132-137 cm / 28-30 (32-34) 36-38 (40-42) 44-46 (48-50) 52-54 inches.
