Pierre Top

Knitting Pattern for an elegant, fitted summer top with an eye-catching lace pattern and a classic shape in sizes XS| S| M (L | XL | 2XL) 3XL | 4XL | 5XL **Structure:** The top is worked in lace pattern top down in one piece. First, the back panel is worked with increases to shape the armholes. Then, the front panels are worked separately and the round neck is shaped with increases. When both front parts are joined along the round neck, the front part is finished like the back part with increases to shape the armholes. Finally, both parts are joined to the round under the armpits and the summer top is worked in lace pattern in the round. The stitches are then bound off with an i- Cord-Edging. Afterwards, the round neck and the armholes are finished off with an applied i- Cord-Edging as well. The fit of the summer top is close to the body with a neutral to negative ease of up to 7 cm. The fitted shape of the top emphasizes the elegant lace pattern all over the top. Because of the airy texture and the yarn choice, the top is the perfect companion during hot summer days! **Level of difficulty:** advanced **Materials:** - 150 | 200 | 200 (250 | 250 | 250) 300 | 300 | 350 g Morning Salutation Vegan Fino by Kremke (165 m/50g) - 3.5 mm circular knitting needles - Darning needle - Stitch markers/left overs **Knitting Tension:** 10x10 cm = 22 sts x 30 rs in pattern, single strand on 3.5 mm knitting needles.
